(PA Wire)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nThe Together at Christmas service was attended by 1,600 celebrities and community heroes from across the UK.<\/p>\n
Actress Kate Winslet and singer Katie Melua were among those invited, alongside comedian and actor Eugene Levy and actor Chiwetel Ejiofor.<\/p>\n
The princess told Dan Smith, lead singer with Bastille, that her children had been looking forward to the service: “They’re really excited, it’s become such a tradition.”<\/p>\n
Kensington Palace said the service celebrated \u201clove in all its forms\u2014whether it\u2019s love within families, through friendships, across communities, or even through powerful moments of connection with strangers. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn a world that can often feel fragmented and disconnected, love is the force that reconnects us \u2014spanning generations, communities, cultures, and faiths. As we approach the Christmas season, we are reminded of the power of togetherness.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Waleses are spending the festive season together and are expected to be joining the King and rest of the royal family at Sandringham in Norfolk on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n
The family-of-five experienced a major change just a few weeks ago when they moved into their eight-bedroom \u201cforever home\u201d, Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park.<\/p>\n
The change is seen as a fresh start for the Waleses after Kate\u2019s recovery from cancer, which she announced at the start of 2025, following what William branded a \u201cbrutal\u201d 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
