19 MAY 2025 | Lady Gabriella Windsor (Ella Windsor) spoke about the Princess of Wales and her experience working with her on the 'Together at Christmas' Carol Service the previous year, during an interview about her patronage, 'Restore the Music'.
Speaking about the invitation to help out with the Carol Service, she said :

The Princess’s carol concert is such a brilliant event and idea, to thank and shine a light on hundreds of the most outstanding charities in the UK. I was happy to have a little part in it. My role was to support on the musical side of things, and to put forward artists and ideas.”
How Restore helped out :
“Two of the school bands played Christmas classics to guests as they arrived at the Abbey, which the guests loved. The students also really enjoyed it.
As did Gregory Porter and Rosie Chan, who were some of the other artists I put forward. It was very positive all around.”
Talking about the surprises organised by The Princess of Wales during the event :
