Tom Walker, the renowned singer, has finally broken his silence on the incredible piano display by Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, on Christmas Eve.
The duo collaborated on the Royal Carols during the Christmas service, paying tribute to inspirational individuals who served their communities amidst the pandemic.
In an interview on Good Morning Britain, Tom Walker opened up about the behind-the-scenes rehearsals he had with the exceptionally talented Kate Middleton for their Christmas performance.
He described her as a fantastic and highly skilled musician.
To ensure a seamless performance, they had a top-secret rehearsal at Metropolis Studios.
Their collaboration came to fruition after Tom met Kate at a charity event in 2021.
Following their encounter, he was approached to play for the Carol service, and it was Kate who suggested showcasing her piano skills, as music had provided her solace during the lockdowns.
Since the festive program aired, Tom's single has skyrocketed in the charts.
Grateful for the opportunity, Tom expressed his appreciation towards Kate, stating, “It was so well received, I probably owe her royalties now.”
He even received a letter from the Duchess, thanking him for the collaboration, though Tom believes it should be the other way around.
The audience, as well as viewers at home, were left stunned by the Duchess' hidden talent.
Twitter was abuzz with praise for Kate's piano performance during the Royal Carols.
One user wrote, “Future Queen playing for Tom Walker.
Absolutely amazing!”
Another exclaimed, “Watching Catherine play the piano.
One very cool Queen in waiting.”
The admiration poured in, with many marveling at the Duchess' multifaceted abilities.
In other news, Meghan Markle had hoped for a close friendship with Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.
However, according to a Channel 5 documentary, “Meghan at 40,” the two sisters-in-law turned out to be very different individuals, leaving Meghan disappointed.
Royal expert Emily Andrews highlighted the initial hopes Meghan had for a strong bond with Kate.
Living on the same complex at Kensington Palace and both being outsiders marrying into the royal family, it seemed natural for them to become best friends.
However, as time went on, their contrasting approaches to royal work created a rift between them.
Meghan confided in her friends about her desire for Kate's support in adjusting to royal life.
Behind the scenes, Meghan felt a bit rebuffed, though it remains uncertain if Kate ever realized it.
The seeds of tension were sown when William advised Harry not to rush the relationship, as they didn't know Meghan well enough yet.
Tom Quinn, author of “Kensington Palace: An Intimate Memoir,” shed light on the differences between Meghan and Kate.
While Kate prefers a quiet approach, adhering to the rules and seeking advice, Meghan is a more assertive individual who wanted to do things her own way.
This clash of personalities ultimately caused the divide.
Kate first met Meghan in January 2017 at Kensington Palace when she was Prince Harry's girlfriend.
Following their engagement in November of that year, Prince Harry invited Meghan to spend Christmas with the Royal Family at Sandringham.
The collaboration between Tom Walker and Kate Middleton showcased their exceptional talent and brought joy to many during the Christmas service.
Despite the disappointment in Meghan and Kate's friendship not blossoming as hoped, the Duchess of Cambridge's piano skills continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
