The Duchess of Cambridge gave millions of Britons a Christmas treat on TV (last night) as she played the piano to accompany singer Tom Walker with a poignant song performed by candlelight at Westminster Abbey.
Kate, who has tickled the ivories since she was a child, recorded the song with Walker in the Chapter House of the Abbey, one day before a community carol service on December 8 which was shown on ITV this evening.
They played his Christmas single 'For Those Who Can't Be Here' together, after the Duchess had the idea for the performance following a meeting with Walker when she heard him play at a charity function in October.
The Duchess was said to be 'quite nervous' during her first rehearsal 'because she hadn't played with another musician in a very long time', reported Mirror Online.
Walker said the pair had to sit on opposite sides of the room to practice the emotional performance due to Covid.
He told MailOnline the whole plan was 'very, very secret', adding that they were both scared of messing it up.
