Sam Ryder has shared details of a chat he had with Kate Middleton backstage at the recent Platinum Party at the Palace concert.
Fresh from his stellar performance at Eurovision, where he finished second to red hot favourites Ukraine, TikTok sensation Sam was invited to join the bill for the massive event in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's seven decades on the throne. The gig was one of the major highlights of the Queen's Jubilee weekend, which culminated in Her Majesty making an emotional appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, along with senior members of the Royal Family, including Kate and her husband and children.
A night earlier the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took their place in the eats outside the palace to see Sam deliver a barnstorming rendition of Space Ma at the Platinum Party at the Palace, which earned him rave reviews from viewers watching at home. Those watching in the flesh and in their living rooms saw Sam perform an epic guitar solo as he was flanked by a large dance troupe, before changing the lyrics to "Space Ma'am," at the end in a nod to The Queen.
