Kate Middleton’s carol concert mystery as royal hints at secret part not shown on TV
The Princess of Wales is gearing up for one of her biggest events of the year – her annual Christmas carol concert.
Kate, 42, has made just a handful of public appearances so far in 2024 after she underwent major abdominal surgery in January and then was diagnosed with cancer. Her chemotherapy treatment ended in September and she has begun to make a gradual return to royal duties.
And one appearance that she has been working towards during her recovery is her annual festive event at Westminster Abbey, which is taking place next Friday (December 6). In years gone by, Kate has been accompanied at the event by Prince William along with their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Other royals have also been in regular attendance including Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, as well as Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. Another little-known member of the Firm, Sophie Winkleman, the wife of Lord Frederick Windsor, the son of Prince and Princess of Michael of Kent has also been at the event in recent years.
However, in a new interview, she hinted there is part of the festive outing that is not seen on TV and suggested there is a family gathering after the service. On a visit to the Fayre of St James’s Christmas charity event, actress Sophie, who shot to fame as Big Suze in Peep Show, was asked by HELLO! what she was looking forward to the most about Kate’s event.
And she cryptically answered: “Beautiful music and beautiful readings. And Hors d’Oeuvres”, suggesting some sort of family get-together with snacks.
