Princess Kate brought holiday cheer to Westminster Abbey on the evening of December 6th,hosting the fourth annual recording of “Royal Carols: Together at Christmas.”
The Princess of Wales, 42, has made this festive event a cherished tradition, even after facing a cancer scare earlier this year. Undeterred, she continued her commitment to the event, which will be broadcast on television later this month.
Over 1,600 guests filled the historic abbey to celebrate the season. Among them were several members of the royal family,showing their support for Kate. Notably absent were King Charles and queen Camilla, an expected absence according to royal sources.
Princess Beatrice, who attended last yearS event, returned this year with a special guest: her growing baby bump. Accompanying her was her stepson, Christopher ”Wolfie” mapelli Mozzi, who has become a familiar face at royal engagements.
“Wolfie,” as he is affectionately known, is the son of beatrice’s husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, from a previous relationship. Buckingham Palace announced in early October that Beatrice is expecting her second child, a sibling for her four-year-old daughter, Sienna. While Sienna’s face has been kept largely private,Wolfie has become a beloved figure within the royal circle.
Some royal watchers believe Wolfie’s prominence stems from Beatrice’s dedication to ensuring he feels included and loved within the royal family. His mother, Dara Huang, a renowned interior designer, has also expanded her business to London since Wolfie’s entry into the royal fold.
Edoardo, Wolfie’s father, is an Italian real estate developer and comes from a noble lineage. Following Edoardo’s public relationship with Beatrice, Dara huang initially expressed her disapproval, suggesting he had left her to pursue a higher social standing. However, she later softened her stance, publicly forgiving Edoardo and praising Beatrice.
The recent Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey was a heartwarming affair, not only for the festive music but also for the adorable appearances of several young royals. Among them, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s youngest son, Prince Louis, stole the show with his charming antics.
Louis, known for his playful personality, was captured on camera waving enthusiastically to the crowd and even attempting to conduct the orchestra. “He was so excited to be there,” a royal insider shared. “He loves music and was really enjoying himself.”
The young prince’s appearance comes amidst reports that he’s receiving even more attention and care these days. “Obviously, Wolfie now gets more care. In addition to his parents, he also has the care of his stepmother and the acceptance of the royal family. This should be of great benefit to his growth,” the insider added.
Louis wasn’t the only young royal turning heads. Lord Frederick Windsor’s daughters,11-year-old Maud and 8-year-old Isabella,also made a rare public appearance. The two girls,who are the granddaughters of Prince Michael of Kent,were previously known for their roles as flower girls at royal weddings.
Of course, the evening wouldn’t be complete without the appearance of Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.The three young royals, who are all grandchildren of King Charles III, charmed the audience with their sweet smiles and polite demeanor.
It’s worth noting that despite being the same age, Prince George addresses Maud as his cousin due to the line of succession.
