The Princess of Wales was a vision of ethereal beauty when she made a surprise appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night.
While Princess Catherine, 41, didn't make the journey to the final at Liverpool's M&S Bank arena, the royal did deliver an unexpected instrumental piano performance, which was played in the opening sequence. Take a look at her shining moment on the keys in the clip below...
Looking breathtaking as she played in the Crimson Drawing Room of Windsor Castle, the wife of Prince William donned a beguiling blue gown by one of her most-loved designers, Jenny Packham.
Princess Kate wore the label's 'Marlowe One-Shoulder Gown' which featured a goddess-like asymmetrical neckline, a waist-cinching bejewelled bodice and a billowing chiffon skirt which pooled around the royal's feet as she took a seat at the piano.

Paying homage to the late Queen Elizabeth II through her accessories, the Princess of Wales stunned in the Queen Mother 'Sapphire & Diamond Fringe Earrings,' which were deemed part of the late monarch's personal jewellery collection.

Taking to Instagram to reflect on the royal's scene-stealing moment, one fan wrote: "I can’t imagine how beautifully that gown moves if all we’ve seen is it stationary. This gets my vote for what I hope she wears to a tiara event later this year. I would love to see the whole look completely glammed up!"

The royal's fairytale gown in a cobalt blue hue was also a touching nod to Ukraine, who were proudly crowned last year's winners but could not host this year's competition due to ongoing conflicts.

The instrumental piano performance given by the Princess was composed by Joe Price and Kojo Samuelm, and accompanied Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra.
Following Kate's performance, the official Twitter account for the Prince and Princess of Wales tweeted: "A #Eurovision surprise. A pleasure to join Kalush Orchestra in a special performance of last year’s winning @eurovision entry. Enjoy the show, Liverpool."
