a one-hour television special which will be broadcast on ITV on Christmas Eve at 7.30pm.
＠ Westminster Abbey
the day before the filming of her carol service,
decorating trees sent by the Queen from her Windsor Great Park estate with red ribbon bows
The decorating duchess! Kate Middleton adorns the Queen's Christmas trees with red ribbon bows as she prepares for her Westminster Abbey carol service in unseen photos - and says 'bleak time' in pandemic 'made us realise how much we need each other'
Small acts of kindness can bring comfort in the bleakest of times, the Duchess of Cambridge, 39, has said
Kate’s message of hope comes in a special introduction to her Royal Carols: Together At Christmas TV special
New photographs show her at Westminster Abbey the day before the filming of her carol service
I’m so excited to be hosting Together at Christmas here at Westminster Abbey, a place that’s really special to William and me.
We wanted to say a huge thank you to all those amazing people out there who have supported their communities. We also wanted to recognise those whose struggles perhaps have been less visible too.
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.
But I suppose through that separation, we’ve also realised 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 the congregation we’ve got many inspirational individuals. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for all they’ve done in bringing people together and supporting their communities.
Tune in to @ITV at 7:30pm tomorrow, Christmas Eve to see this special event 🎄 #TogetherAtChristmas

"We wanted to say a huge thank you to all those amazing people out there who have supported their communities. We also wanted to recognise those whose struggles perhaps have been less visible, too.

"Miu Miu's cardigan is made from cashmere with a diamond pattern and tactile bobbles. It also has a detachable cotton collar and is jacquard-woven with black and white roses. Match the lustrous mother-of-pearl buttons to your earrings."
'They're crafted from a stretch blend to ensure a comfortable and flattering fit, and are shaped with wide legs that are defined by front and back pressed creases.'

New York based fashion photographer Alexi Lubomirski is famed for his portraits of the Hollywood elite, and was chosen to shoot Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's engagement photos and the official family portraits on their wedding day.
The father-of-two, who was born in the UK, was a protégé of Mario Testino who was beloved by Harry's mother Princess Diana.
The star photographer is also a prince of the Polish House of Lubomirski, whose royal lineage stretches back 500 years on his father’s side and gives him the title: 'His Serene Highness'.

New York based photographer Alexi Lubomirski (above)
The photographer was born in England to a Peruvian/English mother and a Polish/French father and at the age of eight, he moved to Botswana with his mother and English stepfather.
He was introduced to star photographer Mario Testino and joined him in Paris as his assistant for four years and has worked regularly for Vogue and Harpers Bazaar.
He has also published books including 'Princely advice for a happy life' - a tribute to his two sons - and 'diverse beauty' about models not usually used in fashion magazines and campaigns.
All proceeds from his books are donated to the charity Concern Worldwide - which fights world poverty - of which Alexi is an ambassador.
The photographer had never done an engagement shoot before taking on the prestigious commission from Harry and Meghan.
'It was one of the easiest, most joyful jobs because they were so deliciously in love,' he told E! News.
He added that there was no effort needed to capture the couple in a variety of romantic poses, after telling them to just be themselves while he took their pictures.
'It was nutty. It was a very surreal end to the year because it came out of nowhere,' he recalled.
'I think one of Meghan's friends saw me on Instagram that I was in England during the announcement of the engagement.
'I was told later that this person said to her, "You should meet Alexi. He's great. You'd love him", and that was it.'
In a statement released after the engagement shoot, Alexi said: 'It was an incredible honour to be asked to document this wonderful event, but also a great privilege to be invited to share and be a witness to this young couple’s love for one another.
'I cannot help but smile when I look at the photos that we took of them, such was their happiness together'.
