The Daily Mail reports the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will attend a carol service in Chelsea in support of the Henry Van Straubenzee Memorial Fund this evening. It's rumoured Meghan has been asked to give a reading.

I do wonder if Harry and Meghan will attend the church caroling service tonight. I assume Harry will be there but I have my doubts about Meghan.

In another thread (I can’t remember which) someone linked to a report saying they’ll be there and that Meghan has been tapped to do one of the readings.

So this means they will not be attending the diplomatic reception.

[Pranter]

Nope...they are at the service tonight...Meghan even had a reading during the event.

No, they’re at the Christmas Carol where Meghan is giving a reading. Very nice that she was asked to do so.

[Terri Terri]

How do you guys know? Are there photos?

[HereditaryPrincess]

I presume there's information going around on Twitter from the royal reporters etc?

Never expected that. That’s typically the top royals HM, Charles/Camilla, and Cambridges. Nice to see that they attended the Christmas Carole though. Meghan been a busy bee and still no pictures.

The DM has pics of arrivals. The Middletons are there, they usually attend every year.

Does anyone know what the speech was about that Meghan gave tonight?

[Marengo]

The article is unclear: will the duchess make a speech or 'give a reading '(from the bible?).

It also states that Harry hadn't seen many 'friends' since his engagement, which seems strange. If they were not to invited to the wedding it is safe to assume they were not friends any longer but perhaps acquaintances.

It doesn't surprise me one bit that Harry and Meghan attended the carol service for The Henry Van Straubenzee Memorial Fund. The Van Straubenzee family has had very close ties with the British royal family for years with Charles, William and Harry being very close friends with members of that family.

As it was a memorial carol service, I imagine the reading was a gospel or epistle reading like are commonly read at religious services.

[Pranter]

Prince William sent a letter also talking about the memorial fund/charity and how great it was. It was included in the program..not sure if it was read out loud or what.
