Katie Rawcliffe, ITV Head of Entertainment Commissioning announced, “In aid of bringing everyone together this Christmas, we’re honored to be airing an incredibly special carol event with a difference."
"Hosted by The Duchess of Cambridge, you can expect show-stopping performances from a whole host of music artists such as Leona Lewis, Tom Walker and Ellie Goulding. ITV is guaranteed to deliver the festive joy we all need straight from Westminster Abbey into our living rooms this Christmas.”

The singer also has other royal ties as performed at Prince William and Kate's wedding in 2011. At the time, the couple claimed that they had listened to her music many times during their courtship and therefore she was the perfect choice of artist to perform at the Royal Wedding Reception in Buckingham Palace.
It's thought that Kate Middleton and Prince William will reunite the Firm at this upcoming carol concert, but it has not been confirmed which royals will be in attendance.
The concert will be part of the Royal Carols: Together At Christmas broadcast which will air Christmas Eve, 7.30pm on ITV and ITV Hub.
