Kate Middleton, Prince William light up Royal Variety Performance after two years
Princess Kate and Prince William returned to Royal Variety Performance for the first time since 2023
Kate Middleton and Prince William attended the Royal Variety Performance on November 19 — their first appearance at the show since 2023.
The couple enjoyed a rare date night, their first joint engagement after nearly a month.
“A magical night at the Royal Variety Performance!” Kensington Palace shared on its official Instagram page.
“Grateful to all the incredible talent on stage and the dedicated teams behind the scenes for creating such a brilliant evening,” the caption further stated. “A powerful reminder of why supporting the arts matters is so important!”
The Prince and Princess of Wales partially coordinated their looks for the evening, stepping out in velvet ensembles. Kate dazzled those around her in a dark green gown which fit her slender form like a second skin. While William looked dapper in a dark tuxedo.
Royal Variety Performance set out its red carpet for another year of celebrating and raising funds for the entertainment industry — the live event held annually at the Royal Albert Hall gathers financial contributions for entertainers in need of aid.
This year’s celebration was hosted by British comedian and presenter Jason Manford, while performers included Jessie J, Bob Geldof, Matt Lucas, and the casts from musicals Les Misérables and Paddington.
