The Royal Variety Performance is now seen by over 152 million television viewers worldwide – but it will not be broadcast until December 17th.
It’s back in 2023 – and this year William and Kate will be seen in the royal box, alongside Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and her husband, Prince Daniel.
This year’s event promises to showcase “international stars, world-class theatre, sensational and hilarious comedy” in the presence of royal visitors.
King Charles will not be present as he is attending the COP28 climate summit in the United Arab Emirates this year.
The event is in its 111th year and will be hosted by comedian Bradley Walsh. However, it will not be televised live and will be shown on ITVX on December 17th.

This year the event will take place at the Royal Albert Hall and, as always, will benefit the charity Royal Variety.
In addition to the famous royal guests, the event also hosted a host of celebrities and well-known faces.
Mel, full name Mel Chisholm, attended the event along with his theater friend Ben Forster. She always looked sporty as she gave a glimpse of her toned abs underneath the iconic ensemble.
Mel was dressed very smartly for her evening, her auburn locks styled in loose waves and accessorized with a touch of red nail polish.
