Princess Charlotte, the 9-year-old daughter of Kate Middleton, is proving that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. The young royal has taken an interest in playing the piano, much like her mother. During the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall, Kate shared this delightful tidbit with celebrated pianist Lang Lang. She encouraged her daughter, saying, “With practice, you can be like him.”
Lang Lang, who performed at the Royal Variety Charity’s annual fundraiser, also spoke about his collaboration with a talented young girl named Lucy. Lucy, who is blind and autistic, won the first season of the musical competition show The Piano earlier that year. The royal family’s connection to music runs deep, as both Princess Charlotte and her older brother, Prince George, were seen enjoying the concert from the front row.
Kate Middleton, known for her grace and elegance, is not only a Duchess but also a gifted musician. She has graced the piano keys at various public events, including her annual Christmas carol service. Her musical journey began during her childhood, and she honed her skills during the COVID-19 pandemic, spending countless hours at the piano bench. However, it wasn’t until 2021 that she publicly showcased her musical prowess.
During the lockdowns, music played a significant role in Kate’s life. A source close to the Duchess revealed, “Music has been essential for her, especially during challenging times. She understands the profound way music unites people.” It’s no wonder she eagerly participated in Tom’s performance, recognizing the power of music to bring solace and connection.
The heartwarming bond between mother and daughter is evident as Princess Charlotte embraces the piano. Perhaps one day, we’ll witness a royal recital by the talented young princess herself!
