"Final touches before the #TogetherAtChristmas carol concert tomorrow," she captioned her video, finishing it off with a Christmas tree emoji.

Kate hosted a carol service last year, and the 2022 event will pay tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II as well as the "selfless efforts" of people and communities across the UK.

Members of the royal family will join the Princess for the special event, which will be broadcast on ITV on Christmas Eve.

The programme will blend the modern with the traditional, with carols sung by the world-renowned Westminster Abbey Choir alongside musical performances and readings from special guests.

Announcing the service, Kensington Palace said it would recognise the "selfless efforts" of people and communities across the UK" and highlight "the remarkable impact that coming together to support others can have for us all."
