On Thursday, the second volume of Harry & Meghan was made available for purchase. Neither Buckingham Palace, where Prince Charles’ office is located, nor Kensington Palace, where Prince William’s office is located, are expected to comment on the assertions that are made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in the chapter.

Instead, the royal family was concentrating on participating in an event called Royal Carols: Together In Christmas, which take place at Westminster Abbey on Thursday evening and will be aired on Christmas Eve.

The event will “celebrate the joy that human connection can bring,” according to a release issued by Buckingham Palace on December 6; it was organized by Kate Middleton, age 40, with support from the Royal Foundation.

In attendance were King Charles III, age 74, and his wife Queen Camilla, age 75; other members of the royal family; charity staff; community volunteers; frontline workers; and military personnel.
