Kate Middleton is ready for the holiday season! In new photos, which were taken on December 8, the Duchess is photographed putting cute red bows on the Christmas tree at Westminster Abbey — ahead of her new special Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, which will air in the U.K. on Christmas Eve.
In the new promo, which dropped on December 17, the brunette beauty, 39, sports a cute read and white sweater.
"I'm so excited to be hosting Together at Christmas here at Westminster Abbey," she gushes.
"We have lost loved ones, seen out frontline workers placed under immeasurable pressure, and we have experienced heart-wrenching isolation from those we hold most dear," she wrote in the program. "Alongside this, we have seen how communities have come together to support those most in need. And through our separation from others, we have been reminded just how powerful human connection is to us all. Just how much we need one another. And how loving and feeling a sense of belonging to one another can provide comfort in tough times. The importance of simply being together."
"In our roles, William and I are so fortunate to meet and spend time with phenomenal people across the country who day-in day-out support individuals and families. And over the past two years, we have been inspired by countless people who have brought their communities together through simple acts of kindness. This Carol Service is our small way of recognising the inspiring contribution so many of you have made. Thank you," she concluded.
Kate wants to tell people "about the importance of human connection and what it means, as families, communities and as a nation, to be together and to feel united to help one another through times of hardship or uncertainty."
Kate's family showed up for the event, including Carole Middleton, Pippa Middleton, Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice and more.
