Guests at tonight’s carol concert will be serenaded by young performers from Future Talent, the charity co-founded by the late Duchess of Kent, who sadly passed away aged 92 this year.

The Waleses and the Kents share a lot of common interests \u2013 from music to tennis \u2013 so it’s very touching that the Princess of Wales has included this tribute to the late Duchess of Kent in her carol service this year,” she explained.”The theme of the concert is to celebrate love in all its forms, and I think it shows how dear the Duchess was to the royal family and speaks to her own warm and kind nature.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Duchess was renowned for her compassion, including comforting a tearful Jana Novotn\u00e1 at Wimbledon in 1993. Similarly, the Princess of Wales is known for having a quiet confidence and genuinely cares about the causes she’s connected with and the people she meets.”<\/p>\n

On arrival at the Abbey, guests will be welcomed with music by eight young performers aged between13 and 18 from Future Talent, a charity co-founded by the Late Duchess of Kent to support musicallygifted children from low-income backgrounds. They will be performing as a brass ensemble speciallybrought together for the event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Guests at tonight’s carol concert will be serenaded by young performers from Future Talent, the charity co-founded by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":614123,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[13080,90576,5105,7710,519,448,7796],"class_list":{"0":"post-614122","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royals","9":"tag-danish-royals","10":"tag-royal","11":"tag-royal-families","12":"tag-royal-family","13":"tag-royals","14":"tag-royalty"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115667818269268963","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/614122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=614122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/614122\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/614123"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=614122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=614122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=614122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
