The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wrote today on Instagram about the singing service: “This Christmas, we are celebrating the incredible work of individuals and organizations across the nation who support their communities.
“Next week, Duchess will host a Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey, supported by The Royal Foundation, which will bring together many of these inspiring people.
“The December service will look back to the past eighteen months so that we can think not only of the unprecedented challenges we have faced in navigating the COVID-19 pandemic, but also of remembering the positive things: people and organizations coming together in their communities as well as unsung heroes who stepped in to help others.

The source said ITV was “surprised but delighted” by the sudden change in plan, adding: “It’s going to be a fantastic Christmas carol concert that will be the gold of television for home viewers.”
