Kate Middleton to play Christmas carol in first public showcase of piano skills for concert at Westminster Abbey

KATE Middleton is set to showcase her piano skills tonight as she posted a sneak peek for the Together at Christmas carol concert.

The Duchess of Cambridge – wearing a red dress and with her signature bouncy brunette hair – sat and poised herself ready to play the piano ahead of the concert at Westminster Abbey.



Kate Middleton posted the tease on Instagram

In the short clip, the Duchess gracefully walks in and sit by the piano in the Abbey – which is illuminated by candlelight.

She positions herself as if to start playing the keys and reading off the music sheet ahead of the festive concert.

And her talents on the piano will be showcased tonight – with the Duchess expected to play one of the Christmas carols herself.

Kate, 39, also teased the televised carol concert yesterday as she was pictured tying bows to a Christmas tree.

She will host the event with hubby William among the 1,200-strong audience.

Responding to the piano tease, royal editor Chris Ship said: “Looks like somebody is going to be performing in the ‘Together at Christmas’ carol concert tonight.”

The service was filmed on December 8, and Kate was seen wowing in a festive Catherine Walker coat with large bow detail, a red dress, and the Queen Mother’s sapphire fringe earrings loaned to her by the Queen.

In a clip released by ITV on December 17, Kate looked radiant in red as she says: “I am so excited to be hosting Together At Christmas here at Westminster Abbey.”

The short promotional teaser, voiced by actor James McAvoy, shows a host of A-list stars performing for the royal service.

These include Kate Garraway, Tom Walker, Ellie Goulding and Leona Lewis.
