The heart-warming gesture was very much in tune with the overall theme of the Christmas service at Westminster Abbey, recognising those who have shown love, kindness and empathy to others in their communities.
It's been revealed that the Princess of Wales asked Lady Gabriella Windsor, whose husband died earlier this year, for her help to plan her annual carol service. During the summer, Kate invited Lady Gabriella, the daughter of Prince and Princess Michael of Kent, to join her team organising her annual Together at Christmas event at Westminster Abbey.
The carol service took place on 6 December, with Kate joined by Prince William and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, who all held candles during the service, as did the other guests in the congregation. The service, shown on television on Christmas Eve, will start with a recorded voiceover from the Princess, featuring extracts from a letter given out alongside this year's order of service.
