The Princess of Wales, who has held this event every year to celebrate the Christmas season, is going ahead with the cherished occasion, despite her recent health problems.
Royal expert Hugo Vickers shared his thoughts on Kate’s decision to continue the tradition, telling the sun“I thought if there’s one thing she’s going to do between now and the end of the year, it would be the carol service.” Vickers highlighted the importance of the event, noting: “It has become one of the most enjoyable features of the Christmas season. “It is enormously popular.”
Vickers praised the success of Kate’s previous carol services, saying: “The last ones she has done have been hugely successful.” He explained that the event allows Kate to show gratitude to those who contribute positively to their communities. “It is their way of saying thank you and highlighting the needs of people in communities who have helped each other,” he added, underlining the deeper purpose behind the tradition.
Kate’s commitment to hosting the carol service demonstrates her determination to fulfill her role, even as she navigates her recovery. The announcement that he will appear on December 6 is encouraging news, as it suggests that he is fit to resume some of his public duties. Reflecting on his ability to make this decision, Vickers said, “Before, I always said, ‘Let’s see how you do that day,’ so that’s good news, too.”
