Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Set To Make Their Debut Royal Variety Performance
Already missing regular Meghan and Harry updates? The happy couple have just finished their action-packed official Royal Tour, but they're not showing any signs of slowing down.
The pair have got yet more engagements lined up through November and, in exciting news, Meghan is set to make her Royal Variety Performance late this month.
Although the palace has not yet confirmed, comedian Rob Woodward, who is returning to perform this year, announced on twitter that he will be there 'in the presence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle'.
In a now deleted Tweet, he wrote: 'Delighted and honoured to say that I’ll be making a return visit to The Royal Variety Performance at the London Palladium on 19 November in the presence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Looks like a great bill too – mine’s the only name I’ve never heard of… Dilly! Dilly!'
The event will be hosted at the London Palladium on 19 November.
Markle, whose pregnancy was announced in October, will be expected to wear a gown that will no doubt display her baby bump. She'll be following in the footsteps of sister-in-law Kate Middleton who also attended the Royal Variety Performance twice while pregnant with Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte.
At last year’s performance The Duchess of Cambridge wore a blue jewelled Jenny Packham dress which garnered much attention from the public. There is great anticipation surrounding both the Duchesses dresses this year.
In case you need a reminder, the Royal Variety Performance has been running annually since 1912 and is now watched by over 152 million TV viewers worldwide.
The event was established in 1908 and has none other than the Queen as sole patron. Since 2007, the show has also included Britain’s Got Talent’s series winner, with the likes of musical theatre group Collabro and pianist Tokio Myers performing.
The talent show donates a proportion of the money made from telephone votes to the Royal Variety Charity. Other artists expected to perform this year are singer-songwriters George Ezra and Sigrid; the show will be hosted by Greg Davies.
This won't be the only event the parents-to-be attend next month. On 14 November, the family are set to gather at Buckingham Palace to celebrate Prince Charles’ 70th birthday. The Queen is hosting a special party in honour of her eldest son’s milestone day and Prince Harry and Meghan expected to attend alongside Prince William and Kate.
According to HELLO!, the family will also reunite at the Festival of Remembrance Service on the evening of 10 November.
