Proud parents William and Kate were pictured sitting either side of George, 11, Charlotte, nine and Louis, six, in a newly released snap from the Princess of Wales’ Christmas beautiful carol concert earlier this month.

The royals were joined at Westminster Abbey in London by 1600 guests including celebrities GMB ’s Ben Shephard, actress and author Giovanna Fletcher and McFly star husband Tom, Saturdays singer Mollie King and cricketer Stuart Broad.

Kate’s parents Carole and Michael Middleton were also in attendance, alongside younger sister Pippa. Survivors of the horrific Southport stabbings earlier this year were also invited to the special festive event.

It was understood it had been planned as a solo visit for William but Kate decided to join her husband in order to show her support and empathy.
