The Princess of Wales, Catherine, hosted the fifth annual “Together at Christmas” carol concert on December 5, 2025, at Westminster Abbey in London, bringing together members of the royal family, celebrities, and community volunteers to honor service and promote love and togetherness across the UK.
Event Overview
The concert, held under the banner “Together at Christmas,” was designed to celebrate volunteers and community leaders who support others, especially during the holiday season. This gathering at Westminster Abbey continues a tradition established over the past five years, with the service scheduled for broadcast on UK television on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day 2025.
Royal Family Attendance
Catherine was supported by her husband, Prince William, and their three children: Prince George (12), Princess Charlotte (10), and Prince Louis (7). The Wales family appeared in coordinated festive attire, with Catherine in a forest green Catherine Walker coat trimmed with fur and a tartan skirt from Miu Miu, while the children wore matching navy and festive tones. Other royal attendees included the Duchess of Edinburgh, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester with their extended family, Prince Michael of Kent, Lady Helen Taylor and her children, as well as Zara and Mike Tindall. Notably absent were Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who reportedly had prior commitments amid ongoing sensitivities involving their father, Prince Andrew.

The focus of the concert was to recognize and honor individuals who devote time and effort to volunteering, leading community initiatives, and providing support to neighbors throughout the UK. Approximately 1,600 guests attended the event in person, while thousands more participated via 15 additional community carol services held under the “Together at Christmas” initiative nationwide. This event reflects Catherine’s ongoing commitment to mental health, early childhood development, and fostering community connections during the holiday season.
