Kate Middleton has surprised TV viewers by accompanying singer Tom Walker on the piano in a special performance for her carol service
December 24, 2021 - 19:52 GMT Emily Nash The Duchess of Cambridge has surprised TV viewers by accompanying singer Tom Walker on the piano in a special performance for her carol service. Kate, who has played since she was a child, sat at a grand piano in the candlelit Chapter House of Westminster Abbey as the star sang his poignant hit For Those Who Can't Be Here.
The song was broadcast on ITV as part of Royal Carols: Together at Christmas, which was masterminded by Kate. "It was a crazy pinch yourself kind of day for me, to be in such a beautiful venue playing alongside the Duchess with my band and a string quartet. I certainly won't forget that in a hurry!"My mum had a total freak out when she saw it on the telly. I know this song will resonate with a lot of people this Christmas and my heart goes out to anyone raising a glass around the table remembering those who can't be with us.
As Kate revealed in her introduction to the carol service,"Music was so important to me during the pandemic as I think it was to so many people too." The Duchess reportedly played the flute until the age of 18 and played in the chamber orchestra and a group called the Tootie-Flooties while at St Andrew's Prep School in Pangbourne.
Kate described them as"inspirational individuals", adding:"We owe them a huge debt of gratitude for all they've done in bringing people together and supporting their communities."
