After a year spent mostly out of the public eye due to a cancer diagnosis, Kate, the Princess of Wales, returned to the spotlight Friday to host her annual Christmas carol service.
Kate was joined by her husband Prince William and their three children Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte for the service, held at Westminster Abbey.
Kate — wearing a red coat accented with a black bow and black boots — was photographed as she made her way into the service.
During the service, Kate sat alongside William, George, Charlotte and Louis, the latter of whom she helped guide as they exchanged candlelight.
The full service, titled, “Royal Carols: Together at Christmas,” will air on Christmas Eve in the United Kingdom, as it has done every year since 2021, when Kate first launched what has now become a royal Christmas tradition.
