To end the night in Manchester, Kate Middleton changed sweaters while Prince William gave a speech at FareShare Greater Manchester. "You are the people that have not only kept our country going but have also helped warm all our hearts by showing us the very best of human nature," the Duke said while thanking the workers.

Duchess Catherine and Prince William are feeling the holiday spirit.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge recited a poem in a newly released video celebrating the tireless contribution of front-line workers during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The poem is based on Twas the Night Before Christmas.

“The nurses, the doctors at the heart of the fight joined teachers, shop workers, volunteers in their plight,” William recites. “And the country was grateful for all they had done, and wanted to thank them and bring them some fun.”

“With smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes, the children couldn’t believe they’d had such a surprise,” Kate continues before William loops around, “There’s magic to be found wherever you look. The moral of the story, true now more than ever, is that remarkable things happen when we all work together.”
