On December 15, 2022, the Princess of Wales hosted a special Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey that paid tribute to the late Queen. Spearheaded by the Princess of Wales and supported by The Royal Foundation, the service honored the selfless efforts of individuals, families and communities across the UK.
The King, Queen Consort, the Prince of Wales, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, the Countess of Wessex, Princess Eugenie, Jack Brooksbank, Princess Beatrice, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, Princess Michael, Prince Michael, Princess Alexandra, Zara and Mike Tindall, attended the "Together at Christmas" carol service at Westminster Abbey.
This year, the annual carol service was held for the second time, and was dedicated to Queen Elizabeth II and the values Her Majesty demonstrated throughout her life, including duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, compassion and support for others.
What a lovely event. Kate looks amazing; I love the color and cut of this coat dress on her!
ReplyDeleteI agree. It’s a wonderful event and P. Catherine looks elegant, poised, and happy. The coat is certainly one of her best. (V.M.)
DeleteAgree. Kate looks great in that elegant coat dress - the whole family looks wonderful. Charlotte and Kate in similar colours. And they have the support of the family.
DeleteI am not so sure about Eugenie's coat - doesn't look flattering.
Pauline
Catherine does look stunning, as do all the others at this event. They all look so happy and content in their celebration of Christmas and the Queen's life. The royal family is indeed united.
ReplyDeleteThose two omg 😂😂😂😂😂
DeleteSono tutti incantevoli, ma Catherine è sublime. Il modello dell’abito-cappotto è quello che le dona di più, bello anche il coordinamento di colori della sua famiglia.
ReplyDeleteRossella
Sono completamente d'accordo, La principessa del Galles è sempre stupenda e questo era un outfit favoloso. Così adorabile che anche altri indossavano un colore simile.
DeleteA nice turnout fashion wise, my favorite is Sophie Wessex.
ReplyDeleteSophie did look lovely tonight. Those soft colors are so good on her!
DeleteI agree, Sophie looks radiant here, a classy and elegant lady. Nice to see them all out together. JJ
DeleteShe’s very classy. One of my favorites
DeleteCatherine looks lovely in this well fitted coat, love the color. Lady Gabriella looks fabulous in her red coat, I love the black accessory, I feel it may be at her neckline. Princess Alexandra looks splendid in this beautiful deep burgundy ensemble.
ReplyDeleteBeatrice is my favorite of the night!
ReplyDeleteDP
Mine as well!
DeleteAll of the royal ladies look lovely but the standouts are Kate, of course, Beatrice, Zara, Sophie, and QC Camilla. Where is Prince Edward?
ReplyDeleteAccording to another site, Prince Edward was home with their son, James. James wasn’t feeling well + naturally needed one of his parents there with him, so Sophie, Countess of Wessex came along in honour of supporting Catherine, Princess of Wales,+ to pay respect + tribute to her late mother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II
DeleteIt looks like there was a great turn out from various members of the Royal Family, all coming together in unity to show support to the Princess of Wales, Catherine. What a spectacular celebration to honour + remember our late Queen Elizabeth II as well as showing gratitude to the selfless efforts of communities throughout the U.K., highlighting the importance of coming together to support one another. Never could a more poignant message be needed to echo throughout the U.K given the barrage of unfounded tawdry comments from across the pond. The Wales family look splendid in their coordinated outfits of burgundy + navy. George has grown exponentially in the past three months. He seems to be almost at his moms shoulders + Catherine is a tall woman. I imagine it was a nice escape to be able to sit back + relax + enjoy the festivities, especially for King Charles III + Queen Consort Camilla, who have been under more pressure of late with the undertakings of being the Reigning Monarchs now. I love the colour + style of coat that Charlotte was wearing, as well as Zara’s. I’m glad Sophie, Countess of Wessex was able to make it, given her husband Prince Edward wasn’t able to attend due to other circumstances. I look forward to watching the televised concert on Christmas Eve. I hope it’s received in good spirits by all.
DeleteThis is perfection: colors, styles and atmosphere. Plus the tribute and highlight to the late Queen's values:, this is Christmas at its highest
ReplyDeleteKudos the family, including Kate's side of my the family, for taking the lates scandals with such grace and dignity, doing what the late Queen in·grained in them move on with your duties.
Wishing them a particular peaceful and joyful Holidays

I love the color memo ! Burgundy/Berry for the ladies. Catherine, Charlotte, Zara & Pippa Matthews all wore the same color!
ReplyDeleteCatherine suits this longer length clinched at the waist design.
Everyone looked very polished !
The plum coat dress is a gorgeous color on Kate. And what fun that Charlotte's coat and William's tie stylishly match! Not much of a fan of Eugenie's coat but she looks very pretty. Overall everyone looks wonderful and it looks like a happy event. MD
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Princess Beatrice's coat...I wonder if Eugenie is expecting again?
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing.
DeleteNo Wessex kids and Prince Edward, why? Just Sophie.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Andy?
DeleteThe Princess of Wales exudes pure elegance.
ReplyDelete*****Wunderschön!
ReplyDeleteJust a special time and event. All 4 look great, very festive.
ReplyDeleteThe others gathering for this special time as well, just wonderful, joy-filled smiles all around.
On the fashion front loving the Wales’ family look, the creams of QC Camilla and CoWessex Sophie (great camel boots). Only quibble was Pr. Eugenie’s coat- love the tartan but the size looks too big and not flattering.
While not royals, the Middleton family (not pictured) looked great too.
Glo
Eugenie is pregnant.
DeleteIs she indeed? I was looking for news about a second pregnancy and didn't find any.
DeleteLa famiglia Middleton è sempre elegante e discreta, mi piacciono molto.
DeleteRossella
A beautiful and festive event. I almost shed a tear when I realised that Queen Elizabeth II wasn't there. Christmasses were important to her.
ReplyDeleteThe dress code of the day for the ladies must have been "warm and snug".
Merry Christmas to the BRF.
Ja vollkommen Recht.
ReplyDeletePrincess Eugenie seems to be very pregnant and looks perfectly radiant.
ReplyDelete🌞 Virginia
My thoughts too😉
DeleteEveryone looks beautiful and happy for the Christmas Carols honouring Her Majesty The Queen. I love Beatrice’s and her sister’s overcoat. Mrs. Middleton always looks lovely; she is so respectful of Her Majesty The Queen and the family. I cannot wait to see the concert when it is broadcasted next week. Hope everyone enjoys this spectacular evening.
ReplyDeleteEver seen a more stylish family?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour, echoed by some other family members.
Camilla beautiful in a white coat, princess Alexandra: always elegantly dressed.
And , most important: every one seemingly in a good mood and with the intention of having a good time.
Mabel
Sophie looks amazing
ReplyDeleteBeatrice also looks great! I don't think I'd pick as large a pattern for her myself, but there is something very lovely about her lately. Deep happiness maybe?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great turnout. Almost all of the RF had been there. Love their outfits. So nice to see them all together. Pss Michael of Kent is walking with a cane now? I wish I was there. A merry Christmas to the RF and to all the readers of this blog. css
ReplyDeleteCatherine looks beautiful, love her coat and color. Second on my list is Sophie also nice coat ,beautiful color for her . Her hair are perfect.
ReplyDeleteAva
Fabulous outfits. I love the burgundy colour worn by the Princess of Wales and Princess Charlotte. Lady Gabriela Kingston's bright red is gorgeous but the Countess of Wessex is actually my favourite. She looks amazing
ReplyDeleteAlways good to see Princess Alexandra and the Duchess of Gloucester as well.
ReplyDeleteThe two children, George and Charlotte are obviously done really well at their new school. Looks like they are thriving.
ReplyDeleteI think more photos were added since my first comment.
ReplyDeleteThe Duchess of Gloucester always looks fabulous, and today was no different. I love her velvet forest green coat dress and her pearl accessories. Her booties are very nice. She never seems to age.
Agree !!
DeleteMerry Christmas to all of you.
ReplyDeleteThank you from us and same to you and your family.
DeleteAva
I actually love the Duchess of Gloucester’s deep velvet green ensemble. It looks luxurious and cozy at the same time. Regarding comments about Eugenie, I believe she is pregnant, hence the roomy coat.
ReplyDeleteLt Col Thompson - handsome man
ReplyDeleteEugenie looks like a bag of potatoes
Bea is beautiful, rest of ladies look gorgeous
P Charlotte - mini Wills
Thank you for posting a picture of Princess Alexandra. Lovely to see her and her brothers at the event.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely pictures. I love all of the coats the ladies are wearing. I really like picture 16;that would make such a beautiful Christmas card. Good to see some of the older Royals. Christmas is a special time for all families; we all need to spend more time with our families. Merry Christmas(Tara)
ReplyDeleteCamilla’s coat is beautiful !!
ReplyDeleteCatherine’s coat is gorgeous but I think she would be even more beautiful If she gained a few pounds
Ouch. Attention. Never comment on bodies, their forms or being too thin. Even if you point out true existing facts, which are clearly to see, at the end YOU are or have a big problem. I know what I am talking about. Frieda
DeleteThat's because you do have a big problem Frieda.
DeleteLately Catherine truly shines. Love seeing the family out and about.
ReplyDeleteBeatrice, Zara and Sophie also look so lovely. Not fond of Eugenie's coat, it makes her look pregnant (if she is, warm congratulations to the family!).
I like seeing the smiles and closeness. Hope they can be together with their loved ones and enjoy the holidays.
May the true spirit of Christmas shine in our hearts and light our paths.

A photo of the Princess of Wales’ mother, Mrs Middleton ?
ReplyDeleteTry the following link. You will need to scroll down to the second photo.
She is wearing a full length burgundy coat (I think it's a coat). Her father is in the photo and I think it is her sister, Pippa, who is there also.
Enjoy.

@deadesggs these are photos from last xmas carol last year
Deletecarol and pippa middleton. Burgundy was a popular colour this year
Deletehttps://www.express.co.uk/life-style/style/1710195/carole-middleton-green-coat-kate-carol-concert-pictures
I'm sorry to say that the linked report and the pictures all are from last year's event (2021).
DeleteOPPs, sorry. I'll have to do my homework better next time 😒
DeleteThanks @missy for the link.
DeleteIt's certainly winter fashion for the occasion.
What a festive event with a tribune to the late queen, but also to pay tribute to all the invited volunteers who do their valuable work behind the screens in a selfless way like the former queen did. They all look great and elegant. Although I love the coat of Eugenie it looks a bit strange with the belt so high. Maybe I missed something? Is she pregnant?
ReplyDeleteBeaucoup d'allure chez la plupart de ces dames mais en particulier Kate dans sa robe-manteau Bordeaux qui la sublime ; Charlotte est adorable dans la même couleur que sa maman. Tous mes voeux de joyeux Noël à la famille et entourage qui ont su se réunir ainsi qu'à tous les commentateurs et lecteurs du blog !
ReplyDeleteHave just read that the Princess of Wales’ (Kate) ensemble for the carol service is from the London fashion house of Catherine Walker. Although French, Catherine Walker made her fame (and fortune ?) in the fashion industry in London. She has a list of notable royal clients.
ReplyDeletePrincess Diana was a (very) regular client. Kate's mother and sister are amongst her notable clients of today.
Unfortunately, Catherine Walker died in 2010 from breast cancer at the age of 65.
The fashion house is carried on today by her second husband and possibly by her two daughters (not confirmed).
They look remarkably happy and relaxed, all of them. Very stylish clothing, Katherine such a lovely host.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see so many members of the Royal Family in attendance and looking so happy. All the ladies look lovely in their winter ensembles.
ReplyDeleteThis is from yesterday's DM. You can see Middletons here.

Thanks @Anon 16/12/22 13:43 for the link.
DeleteMuch appreciated.
Thanks @deadeggs! I forgot my alias name from my post 🤗
DeleteLately, I find myself increasingly liking royals who carry out their duties with dignity, modestly: Countess Sophie, Duchess Birgitte of Gloucester, Princess Alexandra, Princess Anne, but of course Kate - Princess of Wales. Key to this dignity is the advice that Prince Philip once gave: If you want to be useful, don't talk about yourself.
ReplyDeleteStephanie
wow! Stephanie that is very good advise. Cause the more they talk the more we see their flaws.
DeleteJa
The winner for me is Beatrice. Like her coat best. Sophie also looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteAt odds with everyone, I am not a huge fan of this colour coordination exhibition on the Wales gang.
Carole’s coat seems to fit her way better than the one she picked last year (that one was engulfing her in an almost ridiculous way). Pippa gets points for a repeat of the coat she wore a few days back.
Zara looks very fit, seems the time spent in the Australian sunshine worked well for her.
Camilla also looks good, in her usual coat style.
CH
What can one Say?
ReplyDeleteSubdued, efforless, timeless elegance all around with burgundy as a leading colour.
Princess Kate was a marvellous host to this event schemed and executed to perfection.
So nice to see the colour coordination in Catherine's, Charlotte's and Pippa's ensembles.
Men look very dapper too.
I have seen a few videos on YouTube featuring Catherine' thanking both children and adults ahead of the celebration.
She always looks as a born royal lady.
A touching tribute to the late Queen and the British people at the same time.
So nice to see the close bond of genuine affection between the Waleses and the reigning Monarch and the Queen Consort.
This is the best answer to ...uhm... any kind of misery.
