Ahead of the event, Buckingham Palace noted the service this year is dedicated to the late Queen Elizabeth II. Last year’s event honored those who inspired and helped their communities across the U.K. amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“This year’s carol service is dedicated to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and the values Her Majesty demonstrated throughout her life, including duty, empathy, faith, service, kindness, compassion and support for others,” the palace statement said.
“These principles are shared and personified by the inspirational guests who have been invited to the Abbey in recognition of their tireless work to help and care for those around them,” it continued.

The second drop of episodes of “Harry & Meghan” continued to shed light on Markle and Prince Harry’s life while a part of the royal family.
Harry claimed in the new episodes that Prince William screamed and shouted at him over his decision to step back from the royal family.
Prince Harry and Markle also claimed that the stress regarding the legal battle against a U.K. tabloid led the Duchess of Sussex to suffer a miscarriage. The couple sued Associated Newspapers in 2020 after a private letter sent to her father was published.
“I believe my wife suffered a miscarriage because of what the Mail did,” Harry said during the episode. “I watched the whole thing.”
“Now do we absolutely know that the miscarriage was created or caused by that? Of course, we don’t,” Harry followed up.
“[But] bearing in mind the stress that caused the lack of sleep and the timing of the pregnancy, how many weeks in she was, I can say from what I saw, that miscarriage was created by what they were trying to do to her,” Harry added. “I thought she was brave and courageous, but that doesn’t surprise me because she is brave and courageous.”
Netflix’s “Harry and Meghan” was first released on Dec. 8.
