Kate Middleton made an unexpected appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest and played the piano, encouraging the audience to enjoy the show.

The Eurovision Song Contest final on Saturday night had an unexpected appearance from Kate Middleton. The 41-year-old Princess of Wales played the piano in the opening segment of the international song competition, which was pre-recorded earlier this month at the Crimson Drawing Room of Windsor Castle.
Middleton performed an instrumental rendition of the song "Stefania" by the Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra, which emerged as the winner of the competition in the previous year.
The Twitter account of Middleton and her spouse, Prince William, who is 40 years old, subsequently posted a video of the princess's presentation.
The royals shared a video and captioned it as a surprise related to Eurovision, with a piano keys emoji.
Kate Middleton paid tribute to Princess Diana and her twins by wearing a one-shouldered chiffon dress designed by Jenny Packham in bright blue. She also accessorized with a pair of earrings that were previously owned by the late Queen Elizabeth II. Additionally, she joined the Kalush Orchestra for a special performance of the previous year's winning Eurovision entry and wished the audience in Liverpool a pleasant show.
Middleton's dress color paid tribute to the blue and yellow flag of Ukraine. The video started with an aerial view of Windsor Castle and then focused on the Red Drawing room's window. Middleton was seen sitting at a black grand piano, looking happy, and playing a piece arranged by Joe Price and Kojo Samuel, the music directors.
The introduction of Eurovision included footage of Middleton and various musicians performing their own renditions of "Stephania" with the Kalush Orchestra.
The lineup of artists consisted of Andrew Lloyd Webber, Ms. Banks, Joss Stone, Ballet Black, Bolt Strings, and Sam Ryder, who was the runner-up in 2022.
Typically, the location for the song competition is the native land of the previous year's champion. However, the 2023 grand finale was hosted in Liverpool, United Kingdom.
Middleton was taught how to play the piano by Peter Nicholls when she was approximately 10 or 11 years old until she turned 13, amidst the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
He described her as a charming and pleasant student to teach piano to in an interview with the Evening Standard in April 2012. In December 2021, the princess exhibited her musical talent by performing publicly for the first time at the Christmas carol concert she organized at Westminster Abbey.
According to a source who spoke to People magazine, Middleton suggested the idea of playing the piano while singer Tom Walker performed his song "For Those Who Can't Be Here." They performed together.
According to the source, she found solace in playing the piano while isolating herself during the COVID-19 outbreak.
According to the source, the Duchess placed great significance on music during the periods of lockdown.
She acknowledges the significant role of music in uniting people, particularly in challenging situations.
She was eager to participate in Tom's performance due to these factors. Walker praised Middleton's performance, stating that she did an excellent job. According to Walker, it is difficult to play with new musicians and record live takes on camera, but Middleton did it perfectly.
He went on to say that the Duchess was a wonderful, compassionate individual who made sure to express her gratitude to each person for the chance to perform together. The experience of playing with his band and a string quartet in such a stunning location alongside the Duchess was surreal and unforgettable. To access the Fox News app, click here.
