The Princess of Wales has made a surprise appearance as this year’s Eurovision Song Content got under way.

As the show opened in Liverpool, the Princess was seen in the opening film, playing the piano.

Catherine performed in the Crimson Drawing Room at Windsor Castle in a segment recorded earlier this month.

And her rendition came in a section alongside the winners of last year’s Eurovision, Kalush Orchestra from Ukraine.

The 2022 victors were seen in the same segment, performing at the Maidan Nezalezhnosti underground station in Kyiv.

The Princess of Wales wore a blue dress in honour of Ukraine. The UK, who came second in 2022, hosted the contest on behalf of the country which was unable to stage it because of the ongoing war.

It’s not the first time a piano performance by Catherine has hit the headlines. In December 2021, she played at the Christmas Carol Service she organised at Westminster Abbey and the video went viral.
