Princess Kate has penned a powerful letter ahead of her major appearance next week.

The special letter from the Princess of Wales will be shared with attendees in the carol service at Westminster Abbey on December 6, and the 15 Community Carol Services across the country.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, and other members of the Royal Family will attend the Together At Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey on Friday, December 6.

Spearheaded by Princess Kate, and supported by the Royal Foundation, the service provides a moment to reflect upon the importance of love and empathy, and how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult times of our lives.

The service will shine a light on individuals from all over the UK who have shown love, kindness and empathy towards others in their communities.

Princess Kate, 42, has released a powerful letter ahead of the service, urging Britons to “turn to love, not fear”.

She said: “Dear Guest, I am so delighted that you’re able to join this Carol Service. I wanted to write and share my heartfelt thanks for all that you have done to provide comfort and hope to those who need it the most.

“Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year. It is a time for celebration and joy, but it also gives us the opportunity to slow down and reflect on the deeper things that connect us all.

It is when we stop and take ourselves away from the pressures of daily life, that we find the space to live our lives with an open heart, with love, kindness and forgiveness – so much of what the Christmas spirit is all about.”

Kate added: “The Christmas story encourages us to consider the experiences and feelings of others. It also reflects our own vulnerabilities and reminds us of the importance of giving and receiving empathy, as well as just how much we need each other in spite of our differences.

“Above all else, it encourages us to turn to love, not fear. The love that we show ourselves and the love we show others. Love that listens with empathy, love that is kind and understanding, love that is forgiving, and love that brings joy and hope.

“It is this love which is the greatest gift we can receive. Not just at Christmas, but every day of our lives. Love is the light that can shine bright, even in our darkest times.”
