Families gathered on Christmas Eve are in for a regal treat when The Princess of Wales' carol concert airs this evening. It is the fourth time Kate Middleton has held the annual festive concert at Westminster Abbey - but this year's is particularly poignant as the 42-year-old royal continues her recovery from cancer; Prince William has described 2024 as 'probably the hardest year of my life'.

Filmed earlier this month on December 6th, Royal Carols: Together At Christmas will air at 7:30pm on Christmas Eve on ITV1 and ITVX, with the princess joined by William, 42, and the couple's three children Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.

The concert marked one of the few times the mother-of-three has made a public appearance this year, after undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy in the first half of 2024. Kate has been described as being ‘hands on’ over every aspect of the service, including holding regular planning meetings at Windsor ahead of filming.

On the day the service was filmed, the Princess arrived on her own at 4pm to view the abbey and oversee last minute arrangements. However, the supportive royals have also helped Kate bring her ideas together, with everyone from King Charles, who donated Christmas trees, and Prince Louis, who penned a sweet note, helping to make the service a seasonal success.
