The accompanying video of the princess showing off her musical talent was taken at Windsor Castle and in a surprise move, played at the opening of the Eurovision Song Contest.

“A pleasure to join Kalush Orchestra in a special performance of last year's winning Eurovision entry. Enjoy the show, Liverpool,” Kate said on the royal couple's official Instagram account. 

Kate is known for her effortlessly flawless style. Here's a peek at more of her best queen-like looks .

Kate stole the show at King Charles’ coronation. She was the epitome of a modern-day princess when she arrived at Westminster Abbey in a sweeping red, white and blue royal robe draped over a white Alexander McQueen gown. She tied her hair up in a chic chignon and completed the look with a beautiful silver leaf motif headpiece. 

Kate also wore some stunning jewels — she sparkled in pearl and diamond earrings that belonged to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

Kate dazzled when she and William were in the USA last year for his Earthshot Prize awards. In keeping with the initiative's sustainable ethos, the princess rented her floor-length green gown. The eye-catching diamond-and-emerald choker necklace she wore around her neck had previously belonged to Princess Diana and many fans commentated that the late Queen Elizabeth herself would have been “so proud” of her daughter-in-law’s class and compassion.

During the annual Trooping the Colour in June last year, which formed part of the late queen's platinum jubilee celebrations, Kate's appearance on the balcony again hinted at her future role as queen. She was the picture of elegance in an ivory Alexander McQueen coat dress and blue and white hat as she gazed over the huge crowd next to Queen Elizabeth.
