Kate Middleton has made her annual Christmas carol concert a special tradition, but this year’s preparations may come with an unexpected concern. The Princess of Wales reportedly fears that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could plan their own festive events around the same time. An insider claims Kate wants to protect the occasion from becoming another public competition between the two couples.

Kate Middleton’s annual get-together at the Christmas carol concert has become one of her most anticipated engagements of the festive season. She launched the event in 2021 to recognize volunteers, charity workers, and people who support their communities. However, a new report suggests the Princess is concerned about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s holiday plans.
A royal insider told Heat World, “Kate absolutely loves Christmas, and this concert means the world to her. She puts so much thought and effort into making it special, and it’s become something she’s incredibly proud of.”
However, Middleton is reportedly unhappy that Harry and Markle may hold charity events around the same time. The source said she sees the concert as her moment and wants to avoid another competition between the couples.
The timing has reportedly become another concern for Middleton. She already has to work around the King’s Trust concert on December 2, which has affected her usual early-December schedule. The insider said, “Kate already has to work around the King’s Trust concert on 2 December, which has been frustrating, because she’s used to having her event in early December. The last thing she needs is another complication, especially one involving Harry and Meghan.”
The report also suggests that Harry and Markle have yet to announce their festive charity plans. Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales reportedly wants to confirm her concert date without worrying about another event drawing attention away from it. After building the carol concert into an annual tradition, she wants this year’s celebration to remain special in its own right.
