Kate’s subtle piano performance at Westminster Abbey moved the nation to tears

Kate Middleton is special in so many ways. Being a princess, a mother, and a future Queen, or Queen Consort at least, she is loved by her people and millions others from every corner of the world.

Many believe that when Kate Middleton was given the title of Princess of Wales, she began to see herself not just as William’s wife, but as a prominent figure within the royal family.

Following her battle with cancer, a period of her life that left a mark not only on her and her family, but the entire country, Kate is again seen in public, executing her royal duties with excellence.

It doesn’t come as a surprise that she’s often compared to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. That’s because, like the People’s Princess, Kate is admired for her grace, compassion, strong connection with the public, and dedication to charitable work.

During Christmas 2021, Kate revealed her musical abilities to the nation at Westminster Abbey, stunning the audience with a moving surprise piano performance during the “Royal Carols: Together at Christmas” ITV special, which aired on December 24. 

She joined Scottish singer Tom Walker on the stage as the duo performed the song For Those Who Can’t Be Here. According to BBC, the two secretly filmed at a recording studio ahead of the event that also featured Leona Lewis, Ellie Goulding and “Harry Potter” star Tom Felton.

Speaking of the experience, Walker recalled being asked if he was fine with the duchess performing with him. His reaction was, “What?”

“She picked it up so well, it’s really not easy to go from not playing with other musicians for like 10 years to jumping straight in with like a whole band you’ve never met and camera crews doing live takes that’s being filmed in Westminster Abbey, so I thought it just went so well,” he said. “She’s [a] very talented musician.”

“Royal Carols” honored those who inspired communities during the COVID-19 pandemic, and offered space for grief, remembrance, and shared strength.

“This Christmas will be different to what so many of us had planned,” Prince William and Kate tweeted at the time. “From those who are alone or having to isolate away from loved ones, to the incredible people supporting our NHS and caring for those most in need — we are thinking of you.”

The event was organized and hosted by Kate Middleton herself.
