battling cancer.According to The Sun, the Princess of Wales, 42, recorded the message as part of her annual “Together at Christmas” service that she hosted earlier this month and will be televised on Christmas Eve.“Welcome to our ‘Together at Christmas’ carol service here at Westminster Abbey,” Middleton began her message. “Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year, it is a time for presents, tinsel and mince pies, but it’s also a time to slow down and reflect on the deeper things that connect us all.”“It is when we stop and take ourselves away from the pressures of daily life, that we find the space to live our lives with an open heart, with love, kindness and forgiveness, so much of what the Christmas spirit is all about,” she continued.

Middleton went on, “The Christmas story encourages us to consider the experiences and feelings of others. It also reflects our own vulnerabilities and reminds us of the importance of giving and receiving empathy, as well as just how much we need each other in spite of our differences.

Above all else, it encourages us to turn to love, not fear. The love that we show ourselves and the love we show others. Love that listens with empathy, love that is kind and understanding, love that is forgiving, and love that brings joy and hope.”“It is love which is the greatest gift we can receive, not just at Christmas but every day of our lives,” she said. “Across the United Kingdom there are so many inspiring people embracing those in need.

This carol service is a heartfelt celebration of every one of you, and a reminder that at Christmas, and throughout the year, we must all shine for each other.
