Wales Removes Sussexes from Royal Variety Performance, as William and Catherine Enjoy Double Date with Swedish Royals

In an unexpected turn of events, the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Catherine, have been removed from the highly anticipated Royal Variety Performance.

However, they are not letting this setback dampen their spirits, as they have decided to make the most of their evening by going on a double date with Swedish counterparts Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel.

Their chosen entertainment for the night?

The iconic Cher.

The Royal Variety Performance, an annual show held at London's prestigious Royal Albert Hall, is scheduled to take place on November 30th.

This year's event promises to be a grand affair, featuring performances by Swedish pop star Zara Larsson and serving as a royal reunion for William, Kate, Victoria, and Daniel.

The unique bond shared by William and Victoria, both heirs to their respective thrones, further strengthens the close relationship between the two royal families and their countries.

It is worth noting that the Royal Variety Performance is organized in aid of the Royal Variety Charity, of which Queen Elizabeth II is the patron.

The funds raised from this event provide much-needed support to entertainers across the UK who may be facing challenges such as old age, ill health, or difficult times.

For William and Kate, attending the Variety show has become somewhat of a tradition.

They have been regular guests of honor at the event and last graced its stage in November 2021.

This long-standing tradition of royal attendance traces back to William's great-great-grandfather, King George V, who first attended in 1921.

Once the curtains fall on the performance, it is expected that Princess Kate, Prince William, Crown Princess Victoria, and Prince Daniel will head backstage to meet some of the talented performers.

This will mark William and Kate's fifth appearance at the Royal Variety Performance, with their last attendance in 2021, where Kate dazzled in a stunning green sequined gown designed by Jenny Packham.

Last year, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh had the honor of being the royal guests at the show.

The connection between the Walesears and the Swedish royal couple appears to be strong, as Crown Princess Victoria and Kate have been seen animatedly engaging in joint engagements.

Both royal ladies share a common interest in their work, with Victoria and Daniel establishing a foundation focused on preventing social isolation and promoting good health among children and young people in Sweden after their marriage in 2010.

While William and Kate prepare for an enchanting evening filled with music and entertainment, it is worth noting that this year's Royal Variety Performance will feature an exclusive 100th-anniversary celebration from Disney Theatrical, along with performances by British singer Paloma Faith and Chinese pianist Lang Lang.

However, amidst the excitement surrounding the event, one notable absence will be felt.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, who enjoyed a glamorous night out at the Central London Theatre during the 2018 Royal Variety Performance, are no longer eligible to attend such royal events.

It seems that they have never received invitations to major Hollywood events or grand parties hosted by royalty.

Richard Eden, in his Palace Confidential newsletter, sheds light on Meghan's transition away from Britain and suggests that she has turned her back on a life of genuine celebrity.

According to Eden, her success no longer lies within her own hands.

While Catherine stole the show during South Korean President Yoon Suk-gil's state visit to Britain, wearing a striking scarlet cape coat, Meghan found herself walking down the red carpet in Los Angeles, courting the cameras at the Power of Women event.

Unaccompanied by Prince Harry, she appeared far from regal, just another celebrity waiting to be interviewed by a reporter for Variety magazine.
