The Princess of Wales and her daughter Princess Charlotte performed a piano duet together for Kate's "Together at Christmas" carol concert, which ITV1 broadcast on Christmas Eve. The pre-recorded performance featured the mother and daughter playing a piece by Scottish composer Erland Cooper at Windsor Castle's Inner Hall.
The performance showcased a unique arrangement: Kate played with only her left hand while Charlotte used only her right hand. Footage of guests arriving for the carol service accompanied the piece, titled "Holm Sound." The two "clearly enjoyed performing together, smiling at each other."
Together at Christmas concert
The carol service took place on December 5 at Westminster Abbey. Kate has staged this Christmas celebration for the past five years. This year's event centered on the theme of connections.
The Princess of Wales narrated a letter accompanying every order of service for the concert. She wrote about "how deeply our lives are woven together". The world can feel "fragmented or uncertain", she noted, but Christmas "invites us to remember the power of reaching out to one another".
The broadcast showed the Prince and Princess of Wales watching their children attach paper chains bearing their names to a "Connection Tree" outside Westminster Abbey.
Musical tradition
Kate surprised audiences at her inaugural Christmas event by accompanying singer-songwriter Tom Walker on piano for his song "For Those Who Can't Be Here."
