The royal family came together on Thursday evening to show their support for Princess Kate at her second carol concert.
King Charles led the Queen Consort, Prince William, Prince Edward, and his wife, the Countess of Wessex, as they gathered at Westminster Abbey for the very special service.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte were also there, much to the delight of royal fans. The siblings break up from school for their Christmas holiday on 16th December and were clearly delighted to be able to start the celebration early. Royal fans were thrilled with the moment as they cheered and chanted: "Kate, we love you!"

The service will be broadcast on ITV on Christmas Eve. It will blend the modern with the traditional, with carols sung by the world-renowned Westminster Abbey Choir alongside musical performances and readings from special guests.
Announcing the service, Kensington Palace said it would also recognise the "selfless efforts" of people and communities across the UK" and highlight "the remarkable impact that coming together to support others can have for us all."

Princess Kate kept her guests entertained joking with Alfie Boe about her own singing abilities, and chatting with boxer Nicola Adams, who attended in place of Paralympic star Kadeena Cox.
