Duchess of Sussex Spreads Holiday Cheer with Support for Smart Works Carol Concert
Meghan Markle extended a touch of festive warmth to London by sending a heartfelt message to Smart Works, a charity she proudly supports, ahead of their annual carol concert.
The Duchess of Sussex’s message was prominently featured in the programme for the event, held on Tuesday evening at St Marylebone Parish Church. Smart Works, an organisation close to Meghan’s heart, empowers unemployed women by providing professional clothing and career coaching.
In her note, Meghan celebrated the transformative work of the charity while offering her gratitude and holiday wishes:
"As proud patron, it is my pleasure to warmly welcome you all this evening to the Smart Works Carol Concert. Tonight promises to be a truly magical celebration, filled with special guests and performers, and most importantly, the shared spirit of community that defines Smart Works."
She continued, "Together we gather to honour the work and dedication of this remarkable organisation, which continues to empower women across the UK through coaching, dressing, and instilling confidence on their journey to employment."
Meghan’s thoughtful gesture comes as she reaffirms her connection to the UK, despite stepping down as a working royal in 2020. Her message resonated with attendees, adding royal warmth to an inspiring evening of carols.
Meanwhile, Princess Kate is finalising preparations for her Together at Christmas carol service, set to take place on Friday. A highlight of the royal calendar, this year’s event will be aired on ITV on Christmas Eve, spreading festive cheer to audiences across the UK.
As the festive season unfolds, Meghan and Kate’s respective contributions to the holiday celebrations highlight their enduring commitments to community and tradition.
