Kate Middleton has paid a touching tribute to the late Queen in her Christmas carol service.
During the carol concert, the royal family were out in full force as they honoured the late Queen Elizabeth II in an emotional tribute. A stunning photo of the Queen was projected onto the grand piano during the Together At Christmas service at Westminster Abbey.
The Princess of Wales, who lead the service with support from The Royal Foundation, said she was “thrilled” to return to the abbey for a second year. Kate wore a stunning burgundy-coloured coat dress, which she matched with her daughter Princess Charlotte in a similar colour, reports the Mirror.
Introducing the service, Princess Kate said: "This Christmas will be our first without Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth. Her Majesty held Christmas close to her heart, as a time that brought people together and reminded us of the importance of faith, friendship and family, and to show empathy and compassion.
"This year, we've invited hundreds of inspiring individuals to the service.
“Those who showcase the power of connectedness and community values, allowing us to continue Her Majesty’s tradition of recognising and thanking those who have gone above and beyond to support others.
“Her Majesty leaves with us an incredible legacy and one that has deeply inspired many of us.”
Kate added: "So, whilst Christmas will feel very different this year, we can still remember the memories and traditions we shared. Take time to slow down and celebrate with family and friends all the wonderful things that make Christmas so special."
The service was screened on ITV and voiced over by Catherine Zeta-Jones, the service was filled with gestures in apparent and touching nods to the late royal. Viewers could
