Kate Middleton made sure that the fifth annual carol service was something that marked an important milestone for the royal family and especially her young daughter.

Royal fans were left in awe of the young Princess Charlotte as he made her debut performance for her mother’s big annual event ‘Together at Christmas’ Carol Service held earlier this month.

The young princess had joined her mother to play the song Holm Sound composed by pianist Erland Cooper in a pre-recorded piece, shot at Windsor Castle.

Kensington Palace released the delightful clip, which also had a voiceover from the Princess of Wales, taking about “love and connection through music”.

The fans noted a key emotional detail in the mother-daughter interaction that melted their hearts. The two share a very close bond and trust for each other. Kate appears proud to pass on her musical talent to her daughter and Charlotte seems brimming with the joy of accomplishment.

“Such a beautiful mother daughter moment,” one fan wrote. “The love and trust they have for each other in so evident!”

Another one gushed, “So precious! So lovely to see Charlotte enjoying the gift of music with her mum.”

“Wow I am speechless, how beautiful,” a comment read. “How beautiful can a mother-daughter bond be.. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas”.

“I was expecting the duo mom and daughter will be playing, it’s so beautiful! Merry Christmas to their Royal Highnesses, the beautiful Wales’s family.”

“What a lovely surprise. Love all the Christmas posts.”

Some fans couldn’t help but get tearful over the moment.

“Magical & what a lovely way to remind us all that we are united and to be there for each other. Brought a tear or 3 to my eyes.”

“Now that I have wiped my eyes from tears of this beautiful@moment- I hear your sentiments and see the reaction of love between peoples. Thank you for reminding us all of the love and closeness of the Season. Blessing to your family.”

“Who is cutting onions?” a user on IG quipped. “Merry Christmas [heart emojis]”.

The Prince and Princess of Wales along with their three children are anticipated to make the Christmas Walk at Sandringham estate, another annual tradition that fans eagerly wait for.

A planned Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Kennedy Center, a holiday tradition at the Washington, D.C., performing arts center dating back more than 20 years, has been canceled. 

The show’s host, musician Chuck Redd, told The Associated Press he called off the performance after the White House announced last week that President Trump’s name would be added to the facility — drawing pushback from Democratic lawmakers and some scholars, who say the change violates the law. According to the White House, the president’s handpicked board approved the decision to rename the institution the Trump-Kennedy Center. The revised name later appeared on the building’s facade.

“When I saw the name change on the Kennedy Center website and then hours later on the building, I chose to cancel our concert,” Redd told The Associated Press in an email Wednesday. Redd, a drummer and vibraphone player who has toured with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie to Ray Brown, has been presiding over holiday “Jazz Jams” at the Kennedy Center since 2006, succeeding bassist William “Keter” Betts.

The Kennedy Center did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The center’s website lists the show as canceled.

President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in 1963, and Congress passed a law naming the center as a living memorial to him. The law explicitly prohibits the board of trustees adding any additional memorials to the site.

The decision to rename the center has drawn steep criticism from congressional Democrats and some members of Kennedy’s family. Democratic Rep. Joyce Beatty of Ohio sued over the renaming Monday, calling it a “flagrant violation of the rule of law” and noting that the name can’t be changed without an act of Congress.

The center’s president, Richard Grenell, who was appointed by Mr. Trump, has argued that the center’s status as a memorial to Kennedy wasn’t changed.

Mr. Trump, a Republican, has been deeply involved with the center named for an iconic Democrat after mostly ignoring it during his first term. He has forced out its leadership, overhauled the board while arranging for himself to head it and personally hosted this year’s Kennedy Center honors, breaking a long tradition of presidents mostly serving as spectators.

Numerous artists have called off Kennedy Center performances since Mr. Trump returned to office, including Issa Rae and Peter Wolf. Lin-Manuel Miranda canceled a planned production of “Hamilton.”

Emma Roberts offered fans a rare and heartwarming glimpse into her personal life by sharing a sweet holiday moment with her young son, Rhodes, during a winter getaway. 

The actress posted a photo that captured the two enjoying a snowy escape, giving followers a rare look at her 4-year-old, who closely resembles his famous mom.

The snap, shared during the holiday season, shows Roberts enjoying the time spent with her child away from the spotlight. 

Bundled up for the cold weather, Rhodes appears to be taking in the wintry surroundings, while Roberts keeps the moment simple and intimate. 

The post quickly caught attention, with many fans commenting on how much the son and mother look alike and gushing over the actress for sharing something she keeps mostly private.

While Roberts tends to keep her personal life low-key, the snapshot offered a gentle reminder of how much she cherishes motherhood. 

The actress, who often balances her career with raising her son, has previously spoken about how meaningful these quieter moments are, especially during the holidays. 

This particular glimpse stood out because of its warmth and authenticity, reflecting a peaceful break from her busy professional schedule.

The snowy setting added to the charm of the post, giving fans a seasonal look into how Roberts chooses to spend her downtime. 

Rather than sharing a posed or glamorous moment, the actress opted for something more natural and heartfelt, proving why many admire her grounded approach to fame.

By sharing this rare moment, Roberts gave followers a touching look at her life as a mom, highlighting a tender holiday memory centered on family, warmth, and togetherness.
