6th December 2011
The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were treated to a night of Gary Barlow hits at the Royal Albert Hall this evening as they joined thousands for a concert in aid of royal charities.
The concert raised funds for The Prince's Trust and The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry.
The Duke and his wife chatted briefly with Barlow, minutes before he stepped out in front of a Royal Albert Hall audience.
The singer told The Duke: "I hope you enjoy tonight and I hope it's not too loud."
The Duke replied joking: "The louder the better, the louder the better."
When Their Royal Highnesses took their seats in the royal box a huge cheer went up from the audience who got to their feet and The Prince acknowledged the reception by smiling and waving a programme in the air.
The show was the second of two consecutive nights at the Royal Albert Hall with both performances expected to raise £400,000 for the good causes.
He sung A Million Love Songs, Pray, Nobody Else, among other hits.
Strictly Come Dancing contestant Jason Donovan was one of the acts who appeared with Barlow along with Olly Murs, Lulu, and X Factor's Marcus Collins who is mentored by Barlow.
After the show Their Royal Highnesses met the performers and also chatted to supporters of the organisations benefiting from the two fund-raising shows and comic Peter Kay a big fan of the Take That singer, who was in the audience.
