The event, hosted by the Princess of Wales, took place after what has been described as a challenging year for the Royal Family.

In a pre-recorded introduction to the service, Kate shared her reflections on the Christmas season.
“Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year, it is a time for presents, tinsel and mince pies, but it’s also a time to slow down and reflect on the deeper things that connect us all,” the princess said.
The Princess of Wales emphasised that love and empathy should extend beyond the festive period, highlighting the importance of kindness and forgiveness.
The service’s Instagram caption reinforced this message, stating: “This service reflects upon the importance of love and empathy, and how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult time of our lives.”
Scottish actress Kelly Macdonald will narrate the programme, which will feature performances by singers Paloma Faith, Olivia Dean, and Gregory Porter.
The Christmas carol service will be broadcast tonight at 7:30pm on ITV1, marking an important part of the royal Christmas tradition across the UK.
The service has taken on special significance this year, coming at the end of what Prince William has reportedly called “the hardest year in my life.”
The event showcased the Royal Family’s resilience during a period marked by various health challenges.
The Instagram post sharing the teaser video thanked all participants, noting: “Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this year’s celebrations.”
Tonight’s broadcast will allow viewers across Britain to share in this meaningful celebration, which has become a cherished part of the nation’s festive calendar.
