Originally hosted in 2021 to celebrate being together once more during the festive season following the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Royal Carols has become a recent tradition, pausing to bring the country together for a service of music, reflection and appreciation. And it’ll be particularly poignant for Kate herself this year, following revelations in the Spring that she had been undergoing chemotherapy for an unspecified form of cancer.
Perhaps inspired by her own experiences, this year's service aims to celebrate the people supporting those in need and will combine traditional and modern elements to encompass people of all faiths. There will be classic carols from the Westminster Abbey choir, as well as performances from Paloma Faith, Olivia Dean and Gregory Porter. Sophie Okonedo will be reading The Kindness of Trees, accompanied by a specially composed piece by pianist Rosey Chan.
Royalist or no, the concert is always a cosy, traditional celebration of togetherness at Christmas, so read on for how to watch Royal Carols: Together at Christmas 2024 online, from anywhere and potentially for FREE.
