Kate Middleton Will Host This Joyful Christmas Event
Next week, Kate Middleton will host a very special Christmas event, featuring mystery musical guests and a positive message.
The news was shared on social media by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who will be "celebrating the incredible work of individuals and organizations across the nation who go above and beyond to support their communities." Therefore, as reported by the Daily Mail, invitations were sent out to guests such as teachers and volunteers.
The event, a Christmas carol service, "will look back on the last eighteen months" and will encourage people "to remember the positives: people and organisations pulling together in their communities, the small acts of kindness across different demographics and generations, and the unsung heroes who stepped up to help others."
The carol service is supported by The Royal Foundation. It will be held at Westminster Abbey on Wednesday, December 8, and will be broadcast on TV in December.
The event was originally going to air on BBC, but a documentary changed all of that
Originally, Kate Middleton's Christmas carol event was going to air on BBC, as it was developed with BBC Studios Events Productions, but it will now be part of a special program in December on ITV.
This change came about due to BBC's two-part documentary, "The Princes and the Press." As stated by The Week UK, the first part focused on the royals' relationship with the British media during their early adulthood and up to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding. The second part, which aired on November 29, picked up the story from there and featured more current events, such as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepping away from their royal duties.
A statement from Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, and Kensington Palace on the documentary talked about "overblown and unfounded claims from unnamed sources that are presented as facts" and said, "it is disappointing when anyone, including the BBC, gives them credibility" (via the Evening Standard).
