There was a sweet moment caught on camera when Princess Kate and her family rocked out at the spectacular coronation concert on Sunday evening in the royal box. The Princess of Wales was spotted pointing out to Princess Charlotte where her grandparents Michael and Carole Middleton were seated.
Eight-year-old Charlotte looked delighted to spot her grandma and grandma, who were seated below the royal box, just in front of the Waleses. Kate’s sister Pippa and husband James Matthews were also at the spectacular Windsor Castle concert, which featured performances from Take That, Katy Perry and Olly Murs.
The Middletons have been invited to many significant royal events since Kate wed Prince William in 2011. Both Carole and Michael paid their respects to the late Queen Elizabeth II at her State funeral last September. They have also joined the royal family at church in Sandringham and were spotted at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Party last June.
Their presence at the concert speaks volumes about the close bond King Charles has with Princess Kate - whom he has described as his “darling daughter-in-law”. With that in mind, he made th decision to invite Kate’s family to the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Saturday, and they also attended the concert on Sunday night.

The evening was a great celebration to round off a jubilant coronation weekend - and a change for the royals to let their hair down and have a boogie. Immediate members of the King's family sat in the Royal Box, including Kate and her husband Prince William and their two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Also joining them were the Duke of Duchess of Edinburgh, Lady Louise Windsor and the Earl of Wessex.
William and George both wore blue suits, while Kate looked gorgeous in a red Alexander McQueen trouser suit. Charlotte was pretty in a beige, tiered Self Portrait dress. The youngsters curtsied to the King and Queen as they arrived, while the Middletons got to their feet for the entrance. See the moment here.
Also rocking out at the concert, which was hosted by Paddington and Downton Abbey actor Hugh Bonneville, were Zara and Mike Tindall - enjoying a night out sans kids - Zara in a bright green ensemble, Mike in a smart black suit and white shirt. The finishing touch was a green handkerchief in his pocket to match his wife’s outfit.
