Kate Middleton has special guests attending her annual Christmas carol service. The Princess of Wales, 42, has invited the survivors of a deadly stabbing in Southport, England, and their families to the festive celebration scheduled for Dec.

"It has been a horrendous time for them, and none of the children or the adults who were in that room will ever be the same again," a royal source said.

Kensington Palace has confirmed that families affected by the Southport attack have been asked to join the congregation at the Princess’s service.

Families of Southport stabbing victims have been asked by Princess of Wales Kate Middleton to attend her Together At Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey on December 6. Her gradual return to public activities following a cancer diagnosis and surgery earlier this year is marked by the event.

Princess Kate is continuing to support the families impacted by the deadly stabbing in Southport. According to a report by The Sun published on Friday, Nov. 22, the Princess of Wales has invited child survivors of the fatal Taylor Swift-themed dance class attack to her Christmas carol concert in December.
