The Princess of Wales delighted royal fans on Friday night as she made her grand return to her annual Christmas carol concert in London.
Princess Kate was all smiles as she stepped outside Westminster Abbey ahead of the Together at Christmas Carol service, after what has been a challenging year for the royal following her cancer diagnosis.
It is the fourth time the princess has held her event in celebration of the positive qualities found in many and to bring festive cheer to the capital and associated events around the country.
Kate was joined by her own family, Prince William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis, as well as 22 other members of the Royal Family, as well as the Middleton family.
A total of 1,600 guests headed to Westminster Abbey and each was given the Order of Service, the cover of which was created by illustrator Charlie Mackesy and was unveiled yesterday and a personal letter from the princess for the first time ever, thanking them for all they have done to provide comfort and hope to those who need it the most.
The highlights of the service included Porter performing Do You Hear What I Hear? and Faith singing the classic soul song This Christmas.
Royal fans were jubilant to see the future Queen out and about after her cancer treatment was completed, and took to social media to praise her for stepping out and returning to the beloved festive service.
