Kate Middleton jokes her kids ‘wouldn’t forgive me’ if she sang at carol concert

A lot of children get embarrassed by their parents singing and apparently Prince George and Princess Charlotte are no exception.

During the annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey, the Princess of Wales joked about her singing talents with the star guests.

The Royal Family put on a united front just hours after the final part of the Sussexes’ controversial documentary dropped on Netflix.

The King, the Queen Consort and Prince of Wales joined Kate and the wider family for her festive concert on Thursday evening.

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 quipped.

“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.”

The Princess of Wales also thanked boxer Nicola Adams, Craig David and singer Melanie C for their partcipation, as telling them she was “hugely grateful” given how busy this time of year was.

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”.

During the service, Prince William read an extract from the late Queen’s 2012 Christmas message – whom the service was dedicated to.

A spokesperson for Kensington Palace said the carol service embodied the values the late Queen demonstrated throughout her life, including “duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, compassion and support for others”.

In a loving tribute to the late monarch, a Christmas tree in the abbey was decorated with small Paddington Bear decorations, in a nod to the her famous jubliee sketch.

Other members of the royal family who were at the concert included the Countess of Wessex, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Princess Alexandra.

Princess Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, as well as Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, were also among the guests.

Kate also had the support of her parents Carole and Michael Middleton, her younger sister Pippa and her beloved brother James.
