29 December 2025<\/time>\n <\/p>\nThe Prince and Princess of Wales are reportedly planning to shine a light on the “best of Britain” next year.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
William, Prince of Wales, Catherine, Princess of Wales are set to focus on British causes<\/p>\n
\nPrince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales have previously focused their efforts on highlighting good causes including tackling homelessness, protecting the environment and addressing mental health issues but a new report suggests the couple are going to be turning their focus on British businesses, skills and creativity throughout 2026.<\/p>\n
\nA source told the Telegraph newspaper: “It\u2019s really important for the Prince and Princess of Wales to shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes of the UK.<\/p>\n
\n“There will be a real emphasis in 2026 on showcasing some of the best of Britain.”<\/p>\n
\nThe news comes after Catherine, 43, and her 10-year-old daughter debuted a piano duet which aired as part of the screening of the Together At Christmas carol concert on Christmas Eve (24.12.25).<\/p>\n
\nThe pair sat side by side at the piano for a performance of Holm Sound and the piece’s composer Erland Cooper admitted it was “such a surprise” to be invited to the filming of the duet at Windsor Castle. <\/p>\n
\nErland told BBC Breakfast: \u201cI\u2019d had a chat with the princess earlier in the year and I knew she enjoyed playing this piece of music with family. <\/p>\n
\n“It was a big surprise to be invited to Windsor Castle and hear it performed by a pair of princesses. I didn\u2019t need to give direction, they were so good. \u201cPerforming in front of a film crew and the person who wrote the music is a nerve-wracking thing for anybody, I\u2019m sure. They played it several times and then they asked me to have a wee go as well, and I gave a few pointers. But I didn\u2019t need to. I think I was there as a cheerleader.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n“The Scottish musician praised Charlotte as “very confident”. He added: \u201cShe played it so beautifully.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nErland wrote Holm Sound for his mother, who is also called Charlotte, and the “full circle moment” of family ties. <\/p>\n
\nHe said: \u201cThis is the wonderful coincidence, it\u2019s about how we see our parents in our children\u2019s eyes and but then when you look at your mother and you look at granny, you see your children. It\u2019s about that sort of full circle moment, and it\u2019s about motherhood.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nCatherine and her daughter recorded the duet in Windsor Castle’s Inner Hall earlier in December, with the older princess playing with her left hand and Charlotte with her right. <\/p>\n
\nAs the performance aired, footage was shown of guests arriving at the Westminster Abbey carol service, including Catherine and her husband, Prince William, watching as their three children tied paper chains with their names on to a “connection tree”. <\/p>\n
\nThe Wales family were joined at the carol service by other members of the royal family including Zara and Mike Tindall, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and Prince Michael of Kent, as well as Catherine’s parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and her brother James Middleton, who was accompanied by wife Alizee.<\/p>\n
