The Princess of Wales announces first details of her Christmas concert: here’s everything we know so far

The Princess of Wales will hold her sixth annual Christmas concert at Westminster Abbey with Kate sharing the first details of the festive treat.

With only a month to go, the Princess has confirmed that the ‘Together at Christmas’ service will take place on December 11th with members of the Royal Family expected to attend.

The guests of honour will be the 1,600 people invited to the Abbey in recognition of their work in their local communities.

This year’s service will take the theme of love, kindness and caring for one another while celebrating those who make others feel they can reach out for help by providing a safe place for them to come.

As in other years, there will be star names taking part by giving readings and performing music although details of who will be doing what are yet to be confirmed.

However, the Prince of Wales usually gives a reading at the service.

Initial reveals are that the music will be a mix of traditional and contemporary.

Since its inception, the Together at Christmas celebration has grown and this year, as in recent years, there will be a series of concerts across the UK. Fifteen spots, including Devon, Merseyside, Fermanagh, Tweedale and Gwynedd will have special services as part of this year’s event.

The Princess of Wales is expected to welcome several members of the wider Royal Family to the event.

Together at Christmas will be recorded and broadcast on Christmas Eve on ITV1 and ITVX.
