Kate, who is wearing a sparkly outfit and standing in front of a Christmas tree, says, “Last year’s event reminded me of what I love most about Christmas: seeing people come together, celebrate, and share special moments while also thinking about the past year.”

Princess Kate says that hundreds of “inspiring people” were invited to Westminster Abbey. They are “those who show 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 help others,” Kate says. “Her Majesty leaves behind an amazing legacy that has moved many of us deeply.”
