Kate Middleton Is Including Swifties in Her Christmas Plans for an Important Reason

Kate Middleton is spreading the Christmas cheer this season, one heartwarming gesture at a time. Not only is she set to host her annual Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey this year after undergoing chemotherapy treatment, but she’s also making the event extra special with a few very important invites.

According to a new report from The Sun, the Princess of Wales has invited the survivors of the deadly Taylor Swift-themed dance class stabbing in Southport to her holiday concert. “They will reunite at Westminster Abbey on Dec. 6,” the outlet stated. “The royal family has been a tremendous support to the families. The King met with survivors, then Kate took time out to meet them in private last month with Prince William.”

A source added, “Now, she has personally ensured everyone is invited to her concert which, this year, will mean more to her than ever before.”

Back in July, a 17-year-old boy carried out a deadly knife attack against the attendees at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class for kids aged 6 to 11. Three children died and eight others were injured.

For one of her first post-chemotherapy appearances, Middleton met with the families of all three victims, as well as the girls’ dance teacher, Leanne Lucas, and emergency responders who were also impacted by the event. “Ensuring emergency responders receive long-term mental health support following traumatic events is a cause close to the heart of The Prince of Wales, given his first-hand experience as an emergency responder while serving as a pilot with RAF search and rescue and East Anglian Air Ambulance,” Kensington Palace said in a written statement at the time.
