The annual Christmas Eve carol service featured a heartwarming performance by Princess Charlotte of Wales and her mother, Catherine, Princess of Wales. During the “Royal Carols: Together at Christmas” program, which aired on December 24, 2025, the duo played a piano duet of “Holm Sound,” a piece composed by Erland Cooper. This special was shared on the social media accounts of The Prince and Princess of Wales.
The performance took place in a beautifully decorated hall, radiating a serene Christmas atmosphere. The scene opened with the royals playing together on the piano, capturing the essence of the festive season. In a voice-over, Middleton reflected on the true meaning of Christmas, stating, “At its heart, Christmas speaks of love taking form in the simplest, most human ways. Not in sentimental or grand gestures, but gentle ones.”
Middleton continued her narration by emphasizing the importance of small acts of kindness. She noted, “A moment of listening, a word of comfort, a friendly conversation, a helping hand, presents. These simple acts of care might seem small, but they contribute to the beautiful tapestry of life to which we all belong.”
As the performance progressed, the Princess of Wales expressed a heartfelt message about the significance of reaching out to others. “At a time when life can sometimes feel fragmented or uncertain, the Christmas season invites us to remember the power of reaching out to one another with generosity of heart, understanding and hope,” she said.
The program concluded with Middleton extending her warm wishes for the festive season. “As the year draws to a close, I hope this season brings you moments of peace and clarity and that you too feel surrounded by the same love and care that you offer so freely. Thank you for the warmth you have given, and the kindness you have shown and the quiet, constant light you bring to others. Wishing you a very happy Christmas,” she concluded.
The performance marks another instance of the royal family engaging with the public through meaningful artistic expressions, showcasing the importance of community and connection during the holiday season.
