This year, the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, enlisted the help of Lady Gabriella Windsor in organizing the annual Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey.
Lady Gabriella, who is no stranger to personal hardship after the tragic death of her husband, Thomas Kingston, earlier this year, played a pivotal role in curating the musical performances for the cherished event.
Lady Gabriella, who lost her husband to suicide in February, found solace in contributing to the service, marking a moment of joy amid a year filled with profound grief.

Kate Middleton, deeply moved by her support, invited Lady Gabriella to participate earlier in the summer, and was profoundly grateful for her involvement in making this year’s service truly special.
Held on December 6, 2024, the service not only marked a significant milestone in Kate Middleton’s return to royal duties after undergoing chemotherapy but also celebrated those who embody love, kindness, and empathy in their communities.
The event was deeply personal for the Princess, who dedicated it to spreading a message of compassion and unity.
Lady Gabriella, the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, is a second cousin to King Charles. In the wake of her husband’s tragic passing, she embraced her role in the service with enthusiasm, seeing it as an opportunity for personal healing and connection.
The service was attended by Catherine’s children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—and featured a candlelit ceremony with a 1,600-strong congregation.
The service will be broadcast by ITV on Christmas Eve, allowing the moving message of love and empathy to reach viewers across the world.
Performances by renowned artists such as Paloma Faith, Gregory Porter, Olivia Dean, and JP Cooper graced the Abbey, while actor Richard E Grant, Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, and Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery read powerful passages during the service.
Kate read excerpts from a letter she wrote about love and empathy, reflecting on the Christmas story’s call to “turn to love, not fear.”
She emphasized the importance of showing kindness, understanding, and compassion, both toward ourselves and others. Her message encouraged us to find strength in love, especially during times of hardship.
