A bittersweet season. Princess Kate paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II with a special holiday message, revealing what the late monarch loved the most about Christmas.
“Her Majesty leaves with us an incredible legacy and one that has deeply inspired many of us,” the Princess of Wales, 40, said in a video uploaded to her and Prince William‘s joint Instagram account on Thursday, December 22, promoting her Royal Carols: Together At Christmas broadcast.
Kate hosted her second annual carol concert at Westminster Abbey on December 15, which was taped to air in the U.K. on Christmas Eve. “This year we’ve invited hundreds of inspiring individuals to the service,” she added. “Those who showcase the power of connectedness and community values, allowing us to continue to Her Majesty’s tradition of recognizing and thanking those who have gone above and beyond to support others.”
In the caption, the duchess gushed that she was “thrilled” to carry on the holiday tradition once again. “This year’s service is dedicated to Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and to all those who are sadly no longer with us,” the written message continued. “While 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.”
Another glimpse of the broadcast showed Kate remembering the queen’s favorite parts of the holiday season. “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,” she recalled.
