The Princess of Wales shared a special mother daughter moment with Princess Charlotte as her Christmas service got under way.
Ahead of the broadcast of Together at Christmas, from Westminster Abbey, Kate and Charlotte played a duet together on the piano.
The music was accompanied by a recording from the Princess of Wales, talking about the importance of love and togetherness.
Kate kept a reassuring arm around Charlotte, 10, throughout the duet while the ten year old princess often turned to her mother to share smiles.
As the duet came to a close, the two were seen bursting into giggles.
The piano recital was set against some of the beautiful ancient arches of Westminster Abbey and was played in front of a giant Christmas tree, sparkling with lights and decorated with red baubles and bows.
It set the scene for the traditional Christmas service which Kate has now organised at Westminster Abbey since 2021.
The concert itself took part on December 5 with the duet being recorded some time around then.
Among the 1600 guests were many who have supported their local communities over the past year.
They joined members of the Royal Family including the Duchess of Edinburgh and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester.
Prince Michael of Kent, who arrived in a wheelchair, sat with his son, Lord Frederick Windsor, and daughter in law, Sophie.
The beginning of the concert also showed Prince William arriving at the Abbey with Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, 7, to be met by the Princess of Wales who had arrived there earlier to make final arrangements on the night.
The family were seen enjoying the service throughout the broadcast with Kate taking particular care of Louis who was taking part for the second year in a row.
The Prince and Princess of Wales will join King Charles and Queen Camilla at Sandringham for Christmas along with George, Charlotte and Louis.
