Kate Middleton Surprises Fans with Piano Performance at Eurovision Song Contest
The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, surprised fans by showcasing her musical talent during the opening sequence film of the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest.
The 41-year-old princess contributed a short instrumental piano performance to the popular European contest, joining last year’s Eurovision champions, Kalush Orchestra, in performing their winning entry “Stefania” at the iconic Maidan Nezalejnosti metro station in Kyiv, Ukraine.
The performance was created by composers, arrangers, and musical directors Joe Price and Kaho Samuel, and was recorded earlier this month in the Crimson Drawing Room of Windsor Castle.
Kensington Palace released a set of images of the princess recording the session, dressed in a blue silk one-shoulder dress and seated at a black grand piano.
In one close-up image, Kate could be seen smiling as she sat down at the piano.

Another shot showed a more wide angle of the room, with the Princess of Wales at the piano looking out a window.
Several other British musicians including Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, Sam Ryder, Ms Banks, Ballet Black, Bold Strings, and Joss Stone also took part in the performance.
This isn’t the first time the Princess of Wales has performed.
During the Christmas Carol concert she hosted on December 8, 2021, she confidently accompanied singer Tom Walker on the keys in her first public performance for his poignant rendition of “For Those Who Can’t Be Here” surrounded by candles lighting up Westminster Abbey.
Music has been very important to Kate throughout the pandemic, according to a royal source.
She learned the piano as a child and said she had taken great comfort in playing music throughout the pandemic.
She recognizes the powerful way in which music brings people together, especially during difficult times.
For these reasons, she was keen to be part of Tom’s performance in this way.
Walker dubbed the moment a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
“I thought she absolutely smashed the performance,” Walker said of their duet.
“It’s not easy to just jump behind a piano with a bunch of musicians you’ve never played with before and record live takes to camera, but she completely nailed it.”
Added Walker, “She’s such a lovely, kind and warm-hearted person and she took the time to thank everyone personally for the opportunity to play together.
