Prince William and Kate have said they are thinking of people who are spending Christmas alone this year.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said they recognised this year may be "different to what so many of us had planned" following a spike in Covid cases which has forced many to isolate away from their families.
In a tweet, the couple wrote: "From those who are alone or having to isolate away from loved ones, to the incredible people supporting our NHS and caring for those most in need - we are thinking of you. W & C."
William and Kate have also changed their Christmas plans this year following the Queen's decision to stay at Windsor rather than travelling to Sandringham as usual.
A spokesperson from Kensington Palace said the couple will spend Christmas in Norfolk, where they will be joined by some members of the Middleton family.
The Queen will be accompanied by the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall for her first Christmas without her late husband the Duke of Edinburgh, who died in April this year.
Also joining them will be the Queen's youngest son Prince Edward and his wife Sophie and their children, Louise and James.
Earlier this week it was announced that Princess Anne's husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, has tested positive for the virus.
They are thought to be isolating together at their country estate, Gatcombe Park, in Gloucestershire.
Prince Andrew, who lives on the Queen’s Windsor estate, is believed to be spending Christmas Day with his daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice.
They will also be joined by Eugenie's husband Jack Brooksbank and their 10-month-old son August, as well as Beatrice's husband Edo Mapelli Mozzi and their three-month-old daughter Sienna.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have chosen to remain in their new LA home to celebrate their first Christmas with six-month-old Lilibet and Archie, two.
The Queen took the decision to remain at Windsor as a "precautionary" measure as the UK saw record numbers of Covid cases reported.
The UK recorded a new high of 122,186 infections on Christmas Eve.
Last night a community carol service called Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, hosted by Kate, aired on TV.
The service was created as a thank you to the people who have supported their communities during the pandemic.
During the evening, Kate played the piano and accompanied pop star Tom Walker for a performance.
The duchess has played the piano since childhood and is very experienced with the instrument.
