Composer breaks silence after Princess Charlotte joins Kate Middleton for special duet

Kate Middleton and her daughter Princess Charlotte teamed up for a piano duet for ‘Together at Christmas’ Carol Service.

Charlotte joined Kate for a special duet playing Holm Sound by Erland Cooper to open this year’s ‘Together at Christmas’ Carol Service.

Kensington Palace also shared a video of Kate and Charlotte on social media handles.

Commenting on the mother and daughter’s hidden skills, Scottish composer Erland Cooper was surprised.

The Standard UK, quoted Erland Cooper, as saying Kate and Charlotte needed no direction for their piano duet and they were already “so good.”

The composer of the piece of music said it was “such a surprise” to discover the Princesses would be performing his piece Holm Sound and to be invited to Windsor Castle for the filming of the segment.

He told BBC Breakfast: “I’d had a chat with the princess earlier in the year and I knew she enjoyed playing this piece of music with family.

“It was a big surprise to be invited to Windsor Castle just last week and hear it performed by a pair of princesses.”

The composer added, “I didn’t need to give direction, they were so good.”

Erland Cooper described Princess Charlotte as “very confident”, and added “She played it really well. She plays it so beautifully.”

He further said, “Performing in front of a film crew and the person who wrote the music is a nerve-wracking thing for anybody, I’m sure.”
