Kate Middleton is extending a warm welcome to guests ahead of the much-anticipated Christmas carol tradition she leads each year, sharing a deeply personal letter meant to uplift the royal family and attendees after a challenging year.

The Princess of Wales, who will host her annual Christmas carol concert on Friday, sent a message of love and encouragement to everyone planning to attend, including members of the royal family. Her note focused on the quiet strength found in kindness and the power of small gestures.

She highlighted the value of “simple acts” that do not need to be “sentimental” or “grand” to have meaning. “A moment of listening, a word of comfort, a friendly conversation, a helping hand, presence,” she wrote. “These simple acts of care might seem small, but they contribute to the beautiful tapestry of life to which we all belong.”

Kate went on to reflect on the way lives intertwine, sharing a message of unity and shared resilience. She wrote that “deeply our lives are woven together” and compared those bonds to the unseen but essential roots of trees that offer strength beneath the soil.

The Princess told guests that this year’s carol service will offer “a moment of collective togetherness, a chance to celebrate the spirit of community and service, and to honour the visible and invisible bonds that unite us all.” The event has become one of her signature holiday traditions, celebrated not only for its music but also for its focus on compassion and service.

Members of the royal family are expected to join Kate, including Prince William and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. King Charles and Queen Camilla are also expected to attend on Friday, December 5, along with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and Princess Anne.
