Before wishing the public "a very Merry Christmas," Kate revealed what her carol service is all about: "A reminder that at Christmas, and throughout the year, we must all shine for each other. Because in times of joy and sadness, we are all each other's light."

Princess Kate urged the letter's recipients to consider “the importance of love, empathy and how much we need one another.”

After a trying year during which Kate Middleton and her father-in-law both received cancer diagnoses, the Princess of Wales penned a heartfelt message about love ahead of the 2024 winter holidays.
