Southport attack survivors invited to Royal family Christmas carol concert

23rd November 2024

The Princess of Wales has invited child survivors of the Southport stabbing to her annual Christmas carol concert.

Kate, who is recovering from cancer, has invited child survivors of the attack to her festive event at Westminster Abbey on December 6th.

The Palace said Kate, who honoured the war dead at Remembrance events earlier this month, wanted the theme of this year’s carol service to celebrate those supporting others in need, with a focus on the importance of love and empathy.

It comes after the princess made a surprise visit with her husband William to meet the bereaved families of the victims in Southport last month.

The service will be broadcast from Westminster Abbey and shown on Christmas Eve.
