The Princess of Wales has allegedly sent “personal invitations” to her cousins-in-law, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, for this year’s Christmas carol service, in a bid to keep the Royal Family united and connected this Christmas amid the latest Andrew scandal, it has been claimed. Princess Catherine is returning for the fifth consecutive year to host her annual Christmas Carol Concert, which this year celebrates the “power of love” with major celebrities in attendance.
The Together At Christmas event, spearheaded by Princess Catherine, is set to take place at Westminster Abbey on December 5. Catherine’s annual festive event has become a major fixture in the royal calendar
Actors Hannah Waddingham, Kate Winslet and Chiwetel Ejiofor are set to give readings while carols will be sung by the Westminster Abbey choir, alongside musical performances.
Various members of the Royal Family show their support for the future Queen every year, but this year, Catherine has reportedly specifically chosen to extend the invitation to Beatrice and Eugenie following the latest drama with their father, who has been stripped of his titles and honours due to his links to convicted paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.
Royal commentator Neil Sean told Fox News: “Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie received personal invitations for this year’s ‘Together at Christmas’ from Princess Catherine’s office.
“This is Catherine’s project, and she has the final say — very similar to the way Prince William operates Earthshot. Above all, yes, the Royal Family wants to be seen as united amid what has been a very difficult year.”
But he warned: “This puts the sisters in a very difficult dilemma. If they don’t attend, it looks like they’re snubbing a prestigious invite. If they do attend, they know there could be a media circus with them at the centre of attention.”
Kensington Palace has been contacted for comment.
Beatrice attended Catherine’s Christmas Carol Concert last year.
In a few weeks’ time, the princess’s event will celebrate the ‘power of love,’ a theme that was chosen because, in a world that can often feel fragmented and disconnected, the service will bring people together to celebrate love in all its forms, according to the organisers.
This year, the future Queen will also honour the late Duchess of Kent, who passed away on September 4 at the age of 92, as young performers from Future Talent, a charity co-founded by Katharine, will play music outside the Abbey.
