The next five weeks will be a marathon of party dates as we hurtle towards Christmas. And attending the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall last night, the Princess of Wales confirmed that the festive season has officially begun, choosing a velvet dress and sparkling accessories for the event.
She and the Prince of Wales were matching in velvet, as they arrived for the annual event which benefits those in the entertainment industry with grants. The event began way back in 1912, and this was the fifth version that the Princess has attended, though the first in two years, after she missed the 2025 edition due to her cancer diagnosis.
