William costs late Queen's love of 'the spirit of togetherness at Christmas' at Westminster Abbey carol service... hours after Harry and Meghan drove wedge between themselves and the Firm with bullying and lying claims in explosive Netflix show.
Prince William paid tribute to the late Queen on Thursday night as he quoted her love of 'the spirit of togetherness at Christmas' in the course of a distinct carol concert at Westminster Abbey - just hours after Harry and Meghan's Netflix sequence launched an unheard of assault on the Royal Family, accusing the King of 'lying' and the Prince of Wales of 'screaming' at his brother.

There was no recommendation that William supposed the striking message to be contrasted with the instance of his brother, who became on his family in Thursday's Netflix series. Indeed, it was once planned long earlier than the notorious documentary.

A Christmas tree was once decorated with small Paddington Bear figures – a nod to the late Queen's well-known jubilee comedy layout – whilst visitors had been greeted with atmospheric snowflakes from a snow desktop as they arrived at the entrance.
The tournament was once enterprise as standard for a beaming Kate, who was once the first to arrive shortly before 4.20pm. She later re-emerged to stroll in her family, putting a supportive hand on Prince George's returned as he entered the service hand-in-hand with his sister Princess Charlotte and father the Prince of Wales - while crowds shouted: 'Kate and William we love you!'.
King Charles and his wife Camilla rapidly followed, with the monarch reputedly unfazed by using the attacks launched at The Firm by way of the Sussexes formerly that morning - as he smiled and chatted with clergymen before taking his seat interior the chapel.
The King, Queen Consort, Prince of Wales, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Princess of Wales and Countess of Wessex had been pictured front and centre at the concert, protecting candles whilst singing from the identical hymn sheet - a defiant message in the face of Harry and Meghan's fresh accusations, which had been streamed to billions of workable viewers throughout the world at 8am on Thursday.
Sophie, the Countess of Wessex, arrived now not lengthy after Kate, as did Princess Eugenie and Beatrice, who have been with their husbands. Eugenie used to be seen in the sixth episode of Harry and Meghan's Netflix collection today, touring the family at their domestic in Montecito, California.
