Prince George and Princess Charlotte joined their parents for a Christmas carol concert where the Princess of Wales joked about her singing talents with the star guests.

The royal family put on a united front at Westminster Abbey just hours after the final part of the Sussexes’ documentary dropped on Netflix.

The King, the Queen Consort and Prince of Wales joined Kate and the wider royal family

The princess, who was smiling and looked relaxed, arrived before 4.20pm dressed in an elegant deep red coat dress with matching shoes and clutch bag.

She greeted clergy at the door of the abbey before going inside where she chatted with guests and enthusiastically high-fived children.

Kate, who was hosting the event, thanked those taking part, including actor Hugh Bonneville who read a letter from Paddington to his Aunt Lucy.

Laughing and joking with the guests, Kate was heard telling singer Alfie Boe about her own musical skills, saying she needed more practice singing.

“On the piano you can slightly hide away a bit more than you can do singing,” she said.

“Actually my children probably wouldn’t forgive me – I’m not sure whether they think I’ve got a particularly good singing voice. I’ll have to have some lessons.”

She chatted with boxer Nicola Adams, singers Melanie C and Craig David, and musician Alexis Ffrench.

Kate said she knows how busy this time of year is for everyone as she told them she was “hugely grateful” for their participation.

She also caught up with family members including Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice before heading back outside to welcome her husband and two children, who arrived before 5pm.

When Kate greeted her family outside there were cheers from members of the public and shouts of “Kate, we love you” and “Prince William, we love you”.

I'm looking forward to the King's first Christmas Message. His mother always did a splendid job and never strayed from Christ. I wonder if Charles will follow in her footsteps or if he will offer tribute to the muddy idols? It will be at 10 AM EST on Christmas day. I imagine YouTube will carry it.

Meanwhile, back at their California headquarters, the Duchess of Succoutash and the Prince of Dubious Parentage plot their next series of attacks on the royal family. At Buckingham Palace, Prince Cueball and his father, King Wide Wings, consider a series of defensive countermeasures.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are all class and the Duke and Dutchess of Sussex are all trash.

'The Prince and Princess of Wales are all class and the Duke and Dutchess(sic) of Sussex are all trash."
The Prince and Princess of Wales are fulfilling their family and national roles admirably. I hope they are role models for their father. Unfortunately, the "Spare" went flat and should be discarded. He's no longer needed.

I will probably always think of Prince Charles as the prodigal
son who never quite made it home.

Yes, He’s King Charles the ? now, but I have no hope at all
that he has the slightest clue what to do next.

Granted there are those who assist the royals, and hopefully
that person for Charles can save all of us having to put up
with Charles as they do our Sniffer in Chief, Paws Biden.
