Kate Middleton stressed the preciousness in the “arrival of every baby” in a newly released introduction to her third annual Together at Christmas carol service, which is linked to her early childhood campaign, Shaping Us.
“Welcome to our third carol service at Westminster Abbey,” the mother of three said in her introduction, which was taped Dec. 8 and will be broadcast in England on Christmas Eve, according to reports. “Christmas is a time when we come together and celebrate the birth of a newborn baby. The arrival of every baby is a precious and momentous time. It brings us together to reflect on new beginnings and brings hope for the future.
“Throughout our earliest interactions, relationships and experiences, with those who love us, even before we are born, we lay the foundations to so much of what that future will depend on, but only by valuing and supporting the vital role of the adults in a child’s world can we hope to make a difference.”
The 41-year-old explained that many of the carol service guests were invited to Westminster Abbey due to “their support of our youngest children, as we shine a spotlight on the critical role they play in nurturing and raising the future generation.”
