The guest list for the Princess of Wales's annual Together at Christmas Carol service at Westminster Abbey has been revealed, with an England hero set to attend.

The event, which is spearheaded by the Princess with support from the Royal Foundation, aims to recognise people who have supported others in their families, workplaces and communities, as well as those who have led initiatives that bring people together.


England youngster Michelle Agyemang will be attending the event with her parents.

The 19-year-old played a crucial role in helping the Lionesses win Euro 2025 and was named the Young Player of the Tournament.

She will be joined by other England standout players, this time from the Women’s World Cup-winning rugby team.

The Red Rose’s Jessica Breach, Helena Rowland, Rosie Galligan and Marlie Packer.

The women’s side packed out Twickenham for the World Cup final and took the win over Canada for the first win since 1991.

Lewis Moody and his family will also be in attendance. The rugby star announced he had been diagnosed with motor neurone disease in September.

Kensington Palace announced earlier in the week that the Prince and Princess of Wales sent Mr Moody a private letter alongside his invitation.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast, the former rugby player confirmed he would be attending the princess’s carol concert on Friday, saying: “It’s such a special time of year for us, so to be able to attend with family, to even be invited in the first place, it’s a real honour and Mike Tindall had a part to play in that.

“When you’re in the position I am in, family time is incredibly important, as much of it as I can get in special places like this, it’s really unique.”

Welsh rugby players Kate Williams, Sisilia Tuipulotu, Abbie Fleming, Georgia Evans, Kayleigh Powell and Alex Callender.

Ahead of the event, it was revealed that Kate had penned a moving message that will be distributed to guests at the event on Friday.

In her message, Kate addresses guests directly, expressing gratitude for their participation in the festive gathering.

The royal's words focus on how the Christmas period embodies love through modest, human actions rather than elaborate displays.

She highlights how small gestures of kindness form part of a larger interconnected whole that binds communities together during the festive season.

The princess describes Christmas as a period that demonstrates love through "the simplest, most human ways. Not in sentimental or grand gestures, but gentle ones."

Kate points to specific examples of these modest acts: "a moment of listening, a word of comfort, a friendly conversation, a helping hand, presence."

The royal also emphasises that the festive period serves as a reminder of the profound interconnection between people's lives.
