Before the service, Kate gave a heartfelt speech on Christmas’s deeper meaning.
“Christmas is one of my favorites. It’s for presents, tinsel, and pies, but also to slow down and reflect on what connects us.”
In the teaser clip inviting the world to the pre-recorded event, the 42-year-old added, “When we step back from daily stress, we find space to live with an open heart, love, kindness, and forgiveness—that’s the Christmas spirit.”
This message rang true throughout the service. The royal kids—11-year-old Prince George, 9-year-old Princess Charlotte, and 6-year-old Prince Louis—stood by their mom, showing support.
