Eugene Levy has made a surprise appearance at the Princess of Wales’s Christmas carol concert this evening. The Canadian actor, famed for his role in the comedy Schitt’s Creek, was invited to attend the Westminster Abbey service by the Prince and Princess of Wales.
It comes after William appeared on an episode of the Hollywood star’s hit travel show, The Reluctant Traveller, at Windsor Castle in October. The show saw the prince candidly open up about family life and his plans to change the monarchy when he becomes King.
In the programme, William said “the most important thing in my life is my family” – and vowed to learn from the mistakes his own parents made. In an honest and frank TV chat, William stressed how important he feels it is to raise his three children in a “happy, healthy, stable home”.
The future king manages his royal duties around the school run and is determined to provide a sense of normality at home.
And he told Eugene: “I think it’s really important that that atmosphere is created at home. You have to have that warmth, that feeling of safety, security, love. That all has to be there, and that was certainly part of my childhood.”
The Prince talks of his wishes to modernise the monarchy and tells the. actor: “I want to create a world in which my son is proud of what we do, a world and a job that actually does impact people’s lives for the better.”
He also talks about royal traditions, questioning if they are “fit for purpose today” and “still the right thing to do”.
The Prince adds: “I think it’s safe to say that change is on my agenda. Change for good. And I embrace that and I enjoy that change – I don’t fear it. That’s the bit that excites me, the idea of being able to bring some change. Not overly radical change, but changes that I think that need to happen.”
Levy will tonight attend Catherine’s annual Christmas carol service.
The Together At Christmas service, a mix of traditional carols, music and readings, recognises individuals from across the UK who may have dedicated or volunteered their time to be present with others, led initiatives that bring people in their community together, or offered a helping hand to those around them.
The event, which will air on ITV1 on Christmas Eve, is set to be a spectacular, candle-lit, festive event with special performances from Katie Melua, Fisherman’s Friends and Griff.
