Together at Christmas Returns, VR for the King’s Message, and an Alternative Address from Jimmy Kimmel

Royal Carols: Together at Christmas returns to ITV as the Princess of Wales hosts the festive service at Westminster Abbey for the fifth year, with performances and readings celebrating love, compassion and community. We also explore why the Royal Family traditionally opens Christmas presents on Christmas Eve, tracing the custom back to German royal influences and examining claims that the tradition may not survive a future reign under William and Kate. Plus, the King’s Christmas message enters the virtual reality age, allowing viewers to watch the broadcast in immersive settings while continuing a tradition that dates back more than ninety years. After the break, claims resurface about an awkward moment between Princess Eugenie and Kate during the two thousand eleven Sandringham church walk, and Channel Four prepares to air Jimmy Kimmel’s alternative Christmas message, focusing on free speech, Donald Trump’s presidency, and the role of satire during turbulent political times.
