In a sweet moment captured on camera, Catherine was seen cracking a joke at her husband's expense.
After the performance, which featured captivating sets by Ed Sheeran and Sir Rod Stewart, the royal couple mingled with the performers and other attendees.
As they engaged in conversations, William suddenly experienced a small coughing fit.
Undeterred, he continued chatting while his aides rushed to get him a glass of water.
Amusingly, Catherine turned to her husband, teasingly suggesting that his tickly throat was a result of excessive singing.

During the event, William and Catherine had the opportunity to chat with Daphne Self, one of the world's oldest working supermodels.
The princess complimented the 95-year-old on her silver dress with red feather cuffs, expressing her admiration.
Self responded by remarking on Catherine's height, to which the princess playfully joked, “I'm quite tall, and I have high heels on, so I'm cheating.”
