    This.
    This is the modernity of the royal family. The future queen playing the piano in the background to compliment the real singer and the spotlight is on him, not her. This shows her talent yet her humility, it shows her honour yet her appreciation for the singer, it shows her solemness for the departted yet celebration of life.
    Very poetic

      I can't agree more. The Duchess of Cambridge is definitely multi-talented and not just in an adequate manner. She is very, very gifted. The smile exchanged and initiated at the end by Tom Walker displays the respect they have for each other's ability! 🎹🎤🎸

      Commoner simply means she was not born into an aristocratic family and her parents don't have titles. Many "commoner" women are infinitely more talented than any born royal could have ever claimed to be.

      Tom Walker later described all the time they spent jamming, rehearsing, and planning, and how they were both nervous the actual stage performance would go wrong somehow. I think he looks back and smiles at her to say, "We did it!" And she smiles back. All their hard work had paid off. It was very sweet.

    I believe Catherine had the Queen in mind when this was selected. Her first Christmas without her beloved husband, partner and patriarch of the family. And it no doubt resonates deeply with so many others.
    She wanted Tom for another tune initially…but when Tom suggested his new song and she heard it…I’m sure she was immediately moved by it…Tom was amazed when she requested to accompany him on it. What a feather in an artist’s cap.

      I chose God’s Sparrow because I belong to Him, because He sees even the little, the common, the plain, yet loves and provides.
      I am not Catholic, but am familiar with the story of St. Patrick, who is celebrated the day of my birth. He was kidnapped and enslaved, escaped with the help of true Believers, yet the Lord called him back to witness on the very island where he had been. He chose obedience over fear. The Lord called me to witness, exhort, encourage, pray and fast, and warn my former spouse who was unrepentant, reprobate Pastor, who often threatened to kill me.
      I’ve been called sunflower and sunshine by people in every community that I dwelt in.
      Before severe injuries and surgery for cancer, I was a soprano and sang everywhere I went!
      I have died once, and almost several times. I have seen angels and I have seen demons, and I am very blessed in the way the Lord works in and through my life. He is good, and His mercy endures forever! Glory to God! He has saved my life for eternity!
      Shalom in Christ Jesus!
