Back in 2023, Adam performed The Christmas Song alongside Beverly Knight at the service. The service took place at Westminster Abbey and was broadcast on ITV1 in the UK on Christmas Eve.
Their performance took place just before Prince William delivered a Bible reading.
I had the honour of meeting Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Speaking to People magazine at the time, Adam confessed that it had been an “honour” to meet Kate.
“I had the honour of meeting Catherine, Princess of Wales. She invited the performers she wanted to see at the service, and it was lovely to visit with her before we performed,” he said.
Adam also admitted that he was “excited” to meet the royals at the service.

“I’ve performed for the royals during the Queen’s jubilee, but they were quite far away on the other side of the crowd. So this will be sort of up close and personal and hopefully bringing Christmas cheer to people that tune in on Christmas Eve,” he said.
He later added: “It’s a really flattering invite to receive from Princess Kate, to come and sing at this special event.”
Back in 2022, during the late Queen Elizabeth II‘s platinum jubilee, Adam performed alongside Queen at the platinum jubilee concert.
Adam has been performing alongside Queen for some years now, having first done so in 2011.
Speaking before the concert, Adam told the Express: “It’s wild. We’re on tour right now, so we’re ready to go, we’re very warm and it always feels great to be a guest of Brian [May] and Roger [Taylor] on the stages around the world. And now to be a guest of the United Kingdom for the jubilee, it’s a huge honour.”
‘The most surreal thing I’ve done’
Adam continued, saying: “What I’ve learned about the Queen, (is) what an impressive lady, what a graceful and powerful presence in this country. I’m thrilled…
“As I was on stage (rehearsing earlier), I turned around, I realised I was in the gate of the palace and thought this is definitely the most surreal thing I have done in a while.”
Adam and Queen opened the concert with a medley of hits, including Don’t Stop Me Now and We Are the Champions.
They were watched by Charles, Camilla, Prince William, Kate and then their children George, Charlotte, and Louis, who were sitting in the royal box.
