Her Royal Highness wanted to honor the numerous individuals who have helped those in need this year. These individuals have inspired, counseled, consoled, and most importantly, demonstrated that love is the best gift we can receive.

“This theme takes inspiration from the Christmas story which encourages us to consider the experiences of others and the important human need of giving and receiving empathy.”
