The Prince and Princess of Wales attend the 2025 Royal Variety Performance, marking Kate’s first public appearance since cancer recovery.

The Prince and Princess of Wales will attend the 98th Royal Variety Performance on November 19, 2025, at the Royal Albert Hall, marking Kate’s first appearance since recovering from cancer. They will watch performances by the cast of *Paddington The Musical*, pop artist Jessie J—who recently underwent breast cancer treatment and will perform her new song *I’ll Never Know Why*—Grammy winner Laufey, band Madness, actor Sir Stephen Fry, and others. The event, hosted by comedian Jason Manford, includes tributes to Live Aid and *Kinky Boots*, and a 400-person finale celebrating the 40th anniversary of *Les Miserables*. The annual show, held since 1912, raises funds for the Royal Variety Charity, which supports entertainment professionals in need, including mental health initiatives launched in 2024 and Brinsworth House, a care home for retired performers. The performance will be broadcast to over 150 million viewers worldwide.
