When the performance ended, the Queen, who was wearing a red hat and coat, and a ruby and spray diamond brooch, chatted with her family.
The Salvation Army Commissioners Anthony and Gillian Cotterill also spoke with the monarch, who told them that “no one can sing anymore.”
Choirs can perform outdoors and Princess Anne told her mother, “Oh, we can sing outside.”
When the queen turned to climb the steps back inside her castle house, Prince William said, “Goodbye Grandma.”
The royalty then chatted with local volunteers and charity workers in a marquee where mulled wine and a non-alcoholic punch and mince pies were served to guests.
The queen was joined by royals, including her son, Prince Charles, and her grandson, Prince William.
Cotterill said: “The Queen was saying she was so happy that we could play some Christmas carols because she thinks it will be the only time she will be able to hear Christmas carols, and she was disappointed that we didn’t sing.
“Sometimes we play musicians and other times we are a choir, in an event like this it is better to have the band, since it can be heard from miles away.”
The monarch met with members of the Salvation Army.
Ms Cotterill added: “I saw the Queen uttering some of the words so it was nice.”
Prince William and Kate went to the castle after completing their royal train tour from the country where they thanked the health personnel for their work during the pandemic.
