In a message broadcast during the concert, Kate highlighted the meaning of Christmas beyond grand gestures.
“Christmas is about a love that blossoms in the simplest, most human forms: a moment of listening, a word of comfort, a friendly conversation, an outstretched hand. These gestures may seem small, but they build the tapestry of life of which we are all a part,” he said.

The ceremony also took place in the presence of Prince William and the couple’s two other children, George, 12, and Louis, 7. Other members of the royal family, such as Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh; as well as Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall, were also present.

Charlotte’s musical talent had already been mentioned by the Princess of Wales. In 2023, Kate revealed that her daughter was learning piano, following in her footsteps. Kate herself first showed off her musical abilities in public in 2021, when she played the piano at the premiere of Together at Christmas.
Created during the pandemic to thank people who supported their communities, the concert has established itself as one of the most symbolic moments in the royal calendar. This year, the mother-daughter duo reinforced the vocation of the event: to celebrate union, affection and the strength of the bonds that cross generations.
