    She didn't publicise the fact that she'd be playing piano for him. Just quietly went up and did it. Beautiful woman, outside and in.

      It’s her production so she won’t advertise it. But if it was part of a company‘s production, the company would’ve advertised it.

    This woman acts queenly without the queenly attitude. She's very impressive on her own way, and she doesn't need a crown because she's already wearing an invisible one .

    How proud the people of the UK must be of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate. It is very un-nerving to play the piano before such an audience. The pressure is immense, especially when the entire world is watching. It wasn't a difficult piece but she did it beautifully. She's endlessly talented. As always, she was grace under pressure and I admire her and William very much. Much love from America.

      @@jordann96x not sure why you’re cringing, but I feel like I should say there are lots of ways to be powerful as a woman :p Kate seems to be one of the few people able to inhabit the elusive double standard imposed on women- strong but not looking too strong, glamorous but humble, relatable but uncomplaining, etc. People shouldn’t expect women to act a certain way, but Kate manages to meet western society’s ideal of a female public figure, so more power to her.

He was buried on New Years Eve and getting into the car to go the funeral John Lennons Imagine was on the radio. Then after the funeral get in the car again to go to the grave and it’s on… and a third time going home. That song now always reminds me of the day. I was only 9, and it wasn’t as if the song was only released…

    She’s so humble she played as an equal to the other musicians. She didn’t try to take away the singer’s spotlight in any way. She just played beautifully and calmly in the background while focusing on the notes, and the fact that it’s for charity is so touching with the meanings behind the song, and when he turned to her at the end she just smiled back warmly she didn’t get up, and take the spotlight it’s like she’s saying “This isn’t about me”. Such a role model.

      Meghan would play the piano in the front with the spotlight on her. And Tom would be singing in the background with the background singers.I don’t know why, but that would be so her. 😂

      It wasn't even necessary for Ms. Cambridge to try to be the star of the video, because that has already taken over the film direction by constantly pointing the camera at the Duchess. In so far, I find your comment pretty naive.

      @@kobaltblau it was a colaboration between the singer and her, so it is ok if the camera points at her, plus most of the time it points at the singer, and the dutchess face is even blurry. she is not upstaging the singer, it is clear who has the lead, yet our eyes are all drawn to her.

    Catherine's elegant, classy, & beautiful piano performance. There's no doubt, the woman is a shining star. Unlike, someone's embarrassing disaster on the Ellen DeGeneres Show.

    What’s happening with the view counter? Only 2.6 million?? It was almost 3 million the other day and now it’s gone down ? It’s RUclips making the views go down ! How is this possible.

      Yes 😲 It's so wrong 👎 I have complained on youtube to RUclips 😆 3 times, but I don't have a Twitter account, so can't complain on that platform too. Hopefully, twitter users WILL 👍

      Like counts also did go down once. It was above 71000 at one point. My opinion is that it may be that Harry and Meghan have their hands on this? I mean when Meghan did her book readings for the Bench, her downvotes were 3.5x more than upvotes and soon after youtube removed the downvote counts display. Now Cambridge's youtube view keep decreasing each day. Their like counts has decreased too. Google has deals with the Sussexes and Google owns youtube. A bit suspect.
