The glitzy event comes after Victoria and Daniel kicked off their visit to the United Kingdom yesterday
Kate, 41, paired her stunning £1,288 Talina gown from Safiyaa with an equally dazzling smile as she stepped out in Kensington, showing no sign of anguish after a turbulent week for the royal family following the release of a bombshell book.
Senior royals in the UK are said to be ‘dismayed’ at the row after the book by Omid Scobie mentioned two names of senior royals he claimed expressed ‘concerns’ about the colour of Prince Archie ‘s skin.
The Dutch version of his book Endgame was pulled from shelves in the Netherlands after it appeared to name the two royals – something Scobie has put down to a translation error. The pair identified in the book were named widely by media organisations around the world tonight, including the Guardian and the Times, as King Charles and Kate.
Amid the controversy, the Princess of Wales maintained a ‘business as usual’ attitude as she attended the annual event with Prince William and their guests, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, dressed in a black Toteme frock, and Prince Daniel.

However, the Princess brushed off the mentions as she arrived at the Royal Variety Performance 2023 in the show-stopping gown which featured flared sleeves and statement shoulders, plus a gem-encrusted high-neck.
She donned a chunky gem bracelet with matching earrings, carried a sparkling clutch bag and wore her thick brunette locks in bouncy curls.
Meanwhile Prince William looked sharp in a black tuxedo, and he acted as the perfect gentleman as he held out his hand for his wife as they took to the red carpet.
On arrival they met ITV executives before being introduced to Daphne Selfe, who at 95 is the world’s oldest supermodel.
Excited crowds gathered outside the hall to peer through the windows for the royal arrival.

Speaking to Ms Selfe, Prince William said: ‘You’re modelling at 95, that is incredible,’ before adding: ‘They don’t make you travel about too much do they?’
The Princess of Wales told Ms Selfe that she ‘loved’ her dress, which had red feather tassel sleeves, to which she replied that Kate was very tall.
The Princess then joked: ‘I’m quite tall and I have high heels on, so I’m cheating.’
Prince William added: ‘I don’t have high heels on.’
The Princess of Wales and the Princess of Sweden were then presented with floral bouquets made from English & Swedish national flowers.
Before the performance started Prince and Princess of Wales were welcomed in the royal box with a rendition of ‘God Save the Queen’ performed by West End star Samantha Barks, who plays Elsa in the musical Frozen.
