Duchess Kate and Prince William’s fun evening at the Royal Variety Performance

Duchess Kate and Prince William stepped out to the Royal Variety Performance in London on Nov. 18 and had a very fun evening!
This was the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's third time attending the event together, which is held to benefit the Royal Variety Charity, of which the Queen is a patron. Kate looked incredible in a stunning black lace Alexander McQueen gown.
This year's performance was hosted by comedians Rob Beckett and Romesh Ranganathan and featured entertainment from the cast of Mary Poppins, Lewis Capaldi, Mabel and Emeli Sande and Manchester’s Bee Vocal Choir.

Kate was very keen to talk to the cast of the new Mary Poppins musical, which is on stage now in London! Pop music legend Petula Clark, in the beige hat, made sure to spend time with the duchess.
