Princess Kate's Carol Service gets sneak peek from former stylist Natasha Archer

Princess Kate’s carol service got an extra special sneak peek from former stylist Natasha Archer, who was among the 1,600 guests in attendance. 

The future Queen’s longtime aide shared behind the scenes moments on social media and thanked Kate for inviting her to the celebration.

Kensington Palace also revealed special highlights of the Princess of Wales’ Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey.

“A wonderful event at Westminster Abbey welcoming some of the most inspiring people,” the caption read.

The footage showcased Princess Kate’s elegant entrance, her warm meet and greet with guests, and the joyous atmosphere as attendees came together to celebrate music, community, and kindness.

Princess Kate welcomed the audience with her signature grace, sharing a heartfelt reflection: “At this special time of year, we’re reminded that love takes many forms and even in the simplest act of being there for one another.” 

The service included a Bible reading from Prince William alongside the traditional organ music and angelic choristers, pop stars including Dan Smith of Bastille and rising talent Griff performed.

Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet delivered a personally penned reading, commissioned especially for the occasion, reflecting on the theme of love. 

Her words were a gentle reminder of the power of presence: “Love doesn’t always arrive wrapped in ribbons. 

It’s in laughter shared across a table, a hand held in comfort, the courage to reach out to someone who might otherwise be alone… Christmas is about giving, but maybe we can think about being ‘present’ as our present.”

As Kate Winslet concluded, quoting Henry Drummond: “The moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.”
