LONDON — Kate, the Princess of Wales, has shared a Christmas letter offering a poignant message about the importance of “love, kindness and forgiveness.”
Calling for “love, not fear,” she said the Christmas story is about “the importance of giving and receiving empathy” and showing “how much we need each other in spite of our differences.”
“Christmas is one of my favorite times of the year. It is a time for celebration and joy, but it also gives us the opportunity to slow down and reflect on the deeper things that connect us all," she wrote in the letter which will be sent to those attending her annual Christmas carol service at London's Westminster Abbey.
“It is when we stop and take ourselves away from the pressures of daily life, that we find the space to live our lives with an open heart, with love, kindness and forgiveness — so much of what the Christmas spirit is all about,” she added.
The 42-year-old wife of Prince William, Britain’s future king, appears to acknowledge the challenges she and her family have faced this year.
