Pop artist Tom Walker claimed the Duchess of Cambridge "totally nailed" playing the piano at a community carol service at Westminster Abbey.
Walker called Kate a "great musician," and claimed the two met for top-secret rehearsals in a recording studio before the concert, which aired on Christmas Eve.
Kate sponsored the event, Royal Carols: Together at Christmas, to honor those who helped their communities throughout the pandemic.
Walker, famed for his hit Leave A Light On, claimed he was invited by the duchess to play at the carol service after meeting at a charity event – and they ended up jamming together and performed his previously unseen Christmas song, For Those Who Can't Be Here.
"I had no idea she played the piano," Walker explained.
"It was very, extremely covert - even the studio had no idea what was going on." We were rehearsing for Covid on opposing ends of the room.
"So we got together, we rehearsed the song like nine times, and by the end of it she'd completely nailed it, and then she went away for a couple of days and practiced it, and then we eventually got to record it."
Kate's participation on the piano was teased in a clip on the Kensington Palace Twitter page.
The duchess has a grade three piano and a grade five theoretical certificate.
Walker said Kate told him "she enjoyed the lyrics," but made no mention of the Duke of Edinburgh, her husband's grandfather, who died in April.
"I think everyone has lost someone at some point in their life, and Christmas is the time to remember individuals who aren't around who you used to have extremely wonderful memories of and still do, but you can't reminisce with them in person," he added.
"I believe that's why she related to the songs."
"I think we were both extremely concerned that it wasn't going to go quite as planned and one of us would let down the other person or whatever, but she was just wonderful - she killed it," Walker recalled of the show.
