The royal parents-to-be met a number of performers both before and after the show, including theHamiltoncast members who congratulated Meghan on her pregnancy. In response, she smiled and thanked them.
The couple later took their seats in the Royal Box, smiling as Davies welcomed them to their first Royal Variety performance as a couple. He also said the entire audience would like to congratulate them on their “wonderful news.”
“As I believe they say in Royal circles, one is thrilled that two will become three!” he said.
The origins of the Royal Variety Performance date back to 1912, when King George V and Queen Mary agreed to attend a “Royal Command Performance” at the Palace Theatre in London in aid of the Variety Artistes’ Benevolent Fund.
In July 1919, the second Royal show was performed and was the first to be billed a “Royal Variety Performance.”
