The Princess of Wales looked festive as she put on a colourful display in Westminster Abbey for her ‘Together at Christmas’ Carol Service. The 42-year-old donned a stunning ensemble, as she wore a beautiful red coat with a stylish oversized black bow, designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen .
A red tartan skirt could be seen underneath the coat as she made her way into the church. She also sported a pair of black suede boots.
Princess Kate beamed from ear to ear as she stunned in a winter ensemble looking extremely fetive in red.
Tonight’s event is spearheaded by the Princess of Wales and supported by The Royal Foundation, the organisation backing the Prince and Princess of Wales charity endeavours. King Charles III and the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are expected to be in attendance tonight to support Kate and her event.
The joyous occasion aims to bring people together and show support for those who have had a tough year.
Westminster Abbey opened its doors earlier this evening and was filled with 1,600 people – in attendance are those who had helped their family or friends through their work, or as they selflessly gave up their time through volunteering during the year.

Earlier this month, Kensington Palace confirmed the theme of this year’s event would be “how much we need each other, especially in the most difficult times of our lives”.
Princess Kate penned a personal letter with the theme of love being a pulse throughout it.
“Love is the light that can shine bright, even in our darkest times,” she wrote before reflecting on the troubles that she has overcome.
