The Princess of Wales will return to Westminster Abbey to host a special Christmas carol service next month, Kensington Palace announced today.

Kate will be joined by members of the Royal Family at the December 15 service, which will pay tribute to Her Majesty the Queen, as well as recognising the selfless efforts of individuals, families and communities across the UK.

Last year, the then Duchess of Cambridge was supported by Prince William, the Countess of Wessex, Zara and Mike Tindall, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, and the Middletons, as she stepped into the spotlight to host the high-profile event.

The line-up included performances from Leona Lewis and Ellie Goulding, as well as a performance of To The Day, by poet and writer Lemn Sissay, created especially for the service. There were also readings from Prince William, British Paralympian and junior doctor Kim Daybell and Kate Garraway, among other notable names.
