On December 6, 2024, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, hosted her annual “Together at Christmas” carol service at Westminster Abbey. This event was particularly significant as it marked her first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis earlier in the year.
Kate Middleton’s Ensemble
For the occasion, Kate exuded festive elegance in a red coat dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The bespoke coat featured a chic black bow beneath the collar, adding a touch of sophistication to her look. She paired the ensemble with a long pleated tartan red skirt by Emilia Wickstead, which peeked through the coat’s split, and black suede stiletto boots by Ralph Lauren. To complete her outfit, Kate wore the Amberley Baroque pearl earrings from Mulberry.
Family Participation
Kate was joined by her husband, Prince William, and their three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The family coordinated their attire, with Prince George and Prince Louis wearing suits with vibrant red ties, and Princess Charlotte in a burgundy coat dress, mirroring her mother’s ensemble. The event also saw the attendance of other royal family members, including Zara Tindall and Princess Beatrice, who wore coordinated red hues.
Event Highlights
The “Together at Christmas” service focused on themes of love, kindness, and empathy, celebrating individuals who have made a positive impact in their communities. The service featured performances by young musicians, a steel pan band, and readings by Prince William. Kate’s opening speech emphasized the importance of understanding and supporting one another, especially in difficult times.
This annual carol service has become a cherished tradition, reflecting the royal family’s commitment to community and compassion during the holiday season.
