Princess Kate (that’s Kate Middleton to us common folk) is getting into the holiday spirit, and she’s bringing all the festive feels with her! On November 13, Kate’s team dropped a teaser video on social media that’s giving us more mystery than a Buckingham Palace gift exchange: apparently, something “exciting is coming.”
What’s the scoop? Well, it’s an invite – but not just any invite. This one’s for her fourth annual “Together at Christmas” carol concert, coming to Westminster Abbey on Friday, December 6. Kate’s team showed off the invites like they were fresh scones out of the oven, hot and ready to delight.
In case you missed the “something exciting is coming” post (though, really, we all know you follow royal updates as closely as Netflix release schedules), the invitation reveal was paired with a wink: “Tune in on @ITV and @ITVX on Christmas Eve,” they said. And yes, this counts as a royal family invitation – so get your popcorn ready.
The video flashed the invites: minimalist white, very tasteful, with her royal “C” (for Catherine, but let’s be real – she’s also very Classy). Kensington Palace later let slip to People magazine that 1,600 lucky guests will be attending the event in person. Who’s on the list? People who have been out there supporting others, spreading the love, and generally putting the “good” back in “Good King Wenceslas.”
And this isn’t just any holiday sing-along. The theme of the event, as the Palace put it, is inspired by the Christmas story itself, all about empathy, kindness, and that little holiday magic we could all use right now.
So, while we probably won’t get to sit in the Abbey’s candle-lit rows, we can still join Kate’s royal crew from our couch (or our blanket forts, no judgment) when it airs on Christmas Eve.
Something exciting is coming… 🎄🎵
The invitations are fresh off the press for this year's Together At Christmas Carol Service, which will be returning to Westminster Abbey on Friday 6 December.
We can't wait for you to join us too! Tune in on @ITV and @ITVX on Christmas Eve. pic.twitter.com/knmlyN6PZt
