Kate Middleton dedicated her second annual 'Royal Carols' event to the late queen, and encouraged everyone to celebrate the 'wonderful things that make Christmas so special.'
The princess was stunning in a sparkly black jacket with gold trim as she shared,"This year, we've invited hundreds of inspiring individuals to the service. Those who showcase the power of connectedness and community values, allowing us to continue Her Majesty's tradition of recognizing and thanking those who have gone above and beyond to support others. Her Majesty leaves with us an incredible legacy and one that has deeply inspired many of us.
Christmas was always very special for the queen, who died at 96 years old in September. The queen often spoke of love, charity and family in her annual Christmas speeches throughout her reign, and she gave an especially personal speech last year, after the death of her husband Prince Philip.The monarch shared,"Although it’s a time of great happiness and good cheer for many, Christmas can be hard for those who have lost loved ones. This year, especially, I understand why.
The"Royal Carols" event, which was recorded on Dec. 15 at London's Westminster Abbey, will be broadcast on Christmas Eve and narrated by Academy Award winner Catherine Zeta Jones. In the introduction to the event, Middleton shares"Last year's event reminded me what I love most about Christmas, seeing people coming together, celebrating and experiencing special moments, whilst also thinking about the year that's passed."The princess continued,"This Christmas will be our first without Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth.
