Kate and William have now shared a new message on their social media account regarding the event.

The couple wrote: “Something exciting is coming.

“The invitations are fresh off the press for this year’s Together At Christmas Carol Service, which will be returning to Westminster Abbey on Friday 6 December.

“We can’t wait for you to join us too! Tune in on @ITV and @ITVX on Christmas Eve.”

The message was accompanied by a video of the invitations for the event being made.

The service aims to celebrate individuals from across the UK who have demonstrated love, kindness and empathy in their communities, reflecting on the importance of human connection during challenging times.

Guests will be treated to musical performances by Restore the Music’s young artists before entering the service.

This year’s theme emphasises the importance of love as the greatest gift, inspired by the Christmas story’s message of empathy and understanding.
