«Breaking News» Meghan Markle and Prince Harry arrive for Royal Variety Performance

The Duchess of Sussex dazzled in black and white sequins as she arrived for her first Royal Variety Performance on Monday night. 

Pregnant Meghan, 37, donned a sparkling halterneck top and flowing black maxi skirt by London-based designer Safiyaa as she joined husband Prince Harry, 34, for the annual event at the London Palladium. 

The radiant royal beamed as she was greeted by seven-year-old Darcie-Rae Moyse, of Berkshire, who presented her with a beautiful posy of winter blooms.  

Once inside the Duchess met performers, including Take That’s Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen and the cast of hit musical Hamilton.

Afterwards they took their places in the Royal Box for the National Anthem which was played by the the state trumpeters of the the band of the Household Cavalry and the Invictus Games Choir.

It was Harry’s second outing to the annual event, which is always attended by a member of the Royal Family, the first being in 2015.

As a former actress and performer herself, LA-born Meghan will no doubt take a keen interest in the proceedings – although it is unlikely she will ever have seen anything like tonight’s show before.

The Royal Variety Performance – a mixture of music, dance, singing and comedy - is held in aid of the Royal Variety Charity (RVC), of which The Queen is Patron.

The money raised from the show helps hundreds of entertainers throughout the UK, who are in need of assistance as a result of old age, ill-health, or hard times.

In particular the charity assists former members of the entertainment industry living in Brinsworth House, a residential home it runs in Twickenham. The Duchess’s posy included foliage from the Brinsworth House garden.

The evening is being hosted by comedian Greg Davies and will include performances from Take That, the cast of Hamilton, George Ezra, Clean Bandit, the cast of ‘Tina, The Tina Turner Musical’, and Andrea and Matteo Bocelli.

The origins of the Royal Variety Performance date back to 1912 when King George V and Queen Mary agreed to attend a 'Royal Command Performance' at the Palace Theatre in London, in aid of the Variety Artistes' Benevolent Fund.

In July 1919, the second Royal show was performed and was the first to be billed a ‘Royal Variety Performance’.

Held at London's Coliseum, the show was staged as a 'celebration of peace' and, as the official announcement expressed, ‘had been commanded by The King to show his appreciation of the generous manner in which artistes of the variety stage had helped the numerous funds connected with the War’.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
