Kate Middleton’s new holiday tradition has grown in the three years since it began — and so has her family!

Since 2021, Kate Middleton has hosted the “Royal Carols: Together At Christmas” concert in London, bringing together the royal family, luminaries and invitees to share in some holiday cheer.

In its first year, which came on the tail of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Princess of Wales said the event was in part to “say a huge thank you to all those amazing people out there who’ve supported their communities. We also wanted to recognize those whose struggles perhaps have been less visible, too.”

She continued in an introduction ahead of that first event, “We’ve been through such a bleak time. We’ve seen so many challenges, we’ve lost our loved ones. We’ve seen our frontline workers under immense pressure. And, also, we’ve been more emotionally, and socially, distanced and isolated from each other. I suppose through that separation we’ve also realized how much we need each other and how acts of kindness and love can really bring us comfort and relief in times of distress.”

In its three years, the event has evolved to include her children, in addition to husband Prince William, with many special moments for the family of five along the way. Here, see some of the sweetest photos of the family at “Together At Christmas” through the years.
