Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, is an accomplished woman - but she’s just revealed another string to her bow by revealing a hidden musical talent.
The Duchess made an unexpected appearance at the Christmas Eve carol concert at Westminster Abbey, playing piano accompaniment to pop star Tom Walker as he sang ‘For Those Who Can’t Be Here.’

Wearing a stunning red outfit and framed by an atmospheric candle setting, the Duchess gave a flawless performance.
The concert was filmed earlier this month but only televised on Christmas Eve.
The Duchess took piano lessons as a child and a royal source told People music was “very important” to Kate during the UK’s COVID lockdowns.
“She recognises the powerful way in which music brings people together” during tough times, the source said.
“For these reasons, she was keen to be part of Tom’s performance in this way.”
Walker said she had “completely nailed” the performance.
“It was truly an honour playing alongside The Duchess for Royal Carols: Together at Christmas,” the singer said.
“Without doubt, it was a once in a lifetime experience.
‘She smashed it’
“So I think we were both really nervous that it wasn’t going to go quite to plan and one of us would let down the other person or whatever, but she was absolutely fabulous – she smashed it.
“I thought she absolutely smashed the performance.
“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.
“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.”
The performance was kept under wraps until the Duchess took to social media several hours beforehand.
Posting early on Christmas Eve UK time on the Duke and Duchess’s Instagram account, a short video showed Kate sitting at the piano in Westminster Abbey.
