The royal couple met with the president and his wife at their hotel on Tuesday, before traveling to Horse Guards, where they were formally welcomed by King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

The Princess of Wales will host her third annual Christmas carol service on Friday, Dec. 8, at the Abbey. Beverley Knight, Adam Lambert, Jacob Collier, Freya Ridings and James Bay are set to perform at the service, which, this year, will be linked to the Princess’ Shaping Us campaign.
The service will be a “moment to thank all those who work to support babies, young children and families” in communities across the UK and be “a celebration of the golden opportunity that the birth of a new baby brings,” according to the palace. The Princess’ 2023 carol service “will showcase the hope of new life and why it is so important to build supportive, nurturing worlds around children and the adults in their live.”
