Princess Kate spoke in a video message about how important Christmas was to the Queen, who passed away in September.
Princess Kate (40) commemorates Queen Elizabeth II (1926-2022), who died in September, shortly before Christmas. The 40-year-old explained in a video message, according to the Daily Mail for the TV broadcast of her Christmas service, it emerged that Christmas was a special time for the Queen.
“Her Majesty loved Christmas – as a time to bring people together and remind us of the importance of faith, friendship and family and of showing empathy and compassion,” Kate said.
The recording was apparently made during preparations for the December 15 service at Westminster Abbey. It is the second year that the Princess of Wales has hosted the celebration to thank people who stand up for others. The program will be shown on British TV on December 24th.
“Continuing Her Majesty’s Tradition”
Princess Kate wears in the video a dark, glittering outfit. She also explains: “Last year’s event reminded me of what I love most about Christmas: seeing people come together, celebrating and experiencing special moments while at the same time thinking about the past year.”
Hundreds of “inspirational personalities” have been invited to Westminster Abbey. They are “the ones who demonstrate the power of connection and community and allow us to continue Her Majesty’s tradition of recognizing and thanking those who have gone above and beyond to support others,” Kate said. “Her Majesty leaves us an incredible legacy that has deeply inspired many of us.”
Kate also said of the event: “This year’s service is dedicated to Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and all those who are sadly no longer with us. Although Christmas will feel very different this year, we can still remember to remember the common memories and traditions.”
