Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Catherine, Princess of Wales reflects on motherhood in Christmas message
Caption: Catherine, Princess of Wales reflects on motherhood in Christmas message. She has thanked all those helping babies "feel safe, valued and loved" in a Christmas message to be broadcast next Sunday. The British royal made the comments in a video introducing her third televised Together At Christmas carol concert at Westminster Abbey on 8 December. ”Christmas is a time when we come together and celebrate the birth of a newborn baby. The arrival of every baby is a precious and momentous time, it brings us together to reflect on new beginnings and brings hope for the future.” Praising those who help babies and toddlers through their most vulnerable times, she added: ”Throughout our earliest interactions, relationships, and experiences, with those who love us, even before we are born, we lay the foundations to so much of what that future will depend on.” “But only by valuing and supporting the vital role of the adults in a child's world can we hope to make a difference.” She attended the event alongside her husband, Prince William, and their children Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. They were joined by some 1,500 guests - many of whom were midwives, nursery teachers, and baby bank volunteers. ”From parents and carers to early educators, midwives, health visitors, and community volunteers, thank you for all you do in helping the very youngest members of our communities, feel safe, valued, and loved.” "This is not just making a difference to children today, it will go on to shape a happier, healthier, fairer world in the future.” THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
