Filmed ahead of time to go out over Christmas Eve and Christmas day, Royal Carols: Together At Christmas featured readings and performances from guests including Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham, Bastille frontman Dan Smith, jazz singer Katie Melua, Cornish folk group Fisherman’s Friends, who recently found fame after years of anonymity, and Brit Award winner Griff.

Prince William also delivered an address. It's understood, however, that neither King Charles nor Queen Camilla were in attendance, while Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry weren't invited at all, amid a fresh feud over a birthday party that was hosted by Jeff Bezos at his Beverly Hills mansion for Kris Jenner in November. The theme of this year's edition of the service was love.

"In a world that can often feel fragmented and disconnected, love is the force that reconnects us all – spanning generations, communities, cultures, and faiths," said Kensington Palace in a promotional statement. "As we approach the Christmas season, we are reminded of the power of togetherness."
