Princess Charlotte of Wales joined her mother, Catherine, Princess of Wales, for a heartfelt musical performance during the Christmas Eve program titled “Royal Carols: Together at Christmas.” The special aired on December 24, 2025, showcasing the royal duo performing “Holm Sound” by composer Erland Cooper on the piano.
The event took place at the beautifully decorated Westminster Abbey, creating a serene backdrop for their performance. The segment featured the pair in a warm, festive setting, highlighting the spirit of Christmas through music. As they played, Middleton provided a voice-over that emphasized the essence of the holiday season.
Middleton remarked, “At its heart, Christmas speaks of love taking form in the simplest, most human ways. Not in sentimental or grand gestures, but gentle ones.” She highlighted the importance of small acts of kindness, saying, “A moment of listening, a word of comfort, a friendly conversation, a helping hand, presents. These simple acts of care might seem small, but they contribute to the beautiful tapestry of life to which we all belong.”
The Princess of Wales continued her message by addressing the challenges many face during the holiday season. She noted, “At a time when life can sometimes feel fragmented or uncertain, the Christmas season invites us to remember the power of reaching out to one another with generosity of heart, understanding and hope.”
As the performance concluded, Middleton expressed her wishes for the audience: “As the year draws to a close, I hope this season brings you moments of peace and clarity and that you too feel surrounded by the same love and care that you offer so freely. Thank you for the warmth you have given, and the kindness you have shown and the quiet, constant light you bring to others. Wishing you a very happy Christmas.”
This annual carol service has become a cherished tradition, celebrating the spirit of togetherness and community during the festive season. The touching performance by Princess Charlotte and Catherine served not only as entertainment but also as a reminder of the values that underpin the holiday season.
