Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte showcased their musical talents without any guidance during a piano performance, with the composer of the piece they played expressing his admiration for their duet.
The Princess of Wales and her 10-year-old daughter, Princess Charlotte, sat together at a grand piano for Kate’s annual Together at Christmas carol service. They delivered a heartfelt rendition of the song “Holm Sound,” composed by Erland Cooper from Scotland.

Speaking on BBC Breakfast, Cooper mentioned that he had previously discussed the piece with the princess and was delighted by their performance without needing any direction. He described Charlotte as confident and praised her beautiful playing.
