A TikTok of Kate Middleton performing in a school production of My Fair Lady has gone viral
Kate Middleton is definitely a woman of many talents, and a recent throwback video that has been doing the rounds on TikTok has proved that - as well as being a dab hand at tennis, plus representing the country as the literal future Queen - she's also pretty competent when it comes to performing arts.
While plenty of people already knew that back in the day Kate took part in many school plays and productions, actual footage of the young princess in action can be quite hard to come across. Until now.
The video in question shows Kate performing in a 1993 production of My Fair Lady as the titular character, Eliza Doolittle - who was originally played by two of the most iconic actors ever to have graced the screen and stage. (Julie Andrews was the OG Eliza on the West End in 1958, and Audrey Hepburn played the role in the 1964 film adaptation.)
Singing the famous track 'Wouldn't It Be Loverly,' Kate looked completely at home up on stage, as she belted the song out with an impressive cockney accent. As well as sounding the part (the then-11-year-old's acting skills were also top-notch), she looked the part too, wrapped in a floral shawl with a high-neck white shirt. She also performed with a basket in hand and her hair piled high in a style reminiscent of the 1910s when the musical was set.
Of course, following this sweet revelation, plenty of Kate fans couldn't resist commenting on the video, with many finding it hard to believe that she was only 11 when she took on the role.
"ELEVEN surely not," one person gushed, as another echoed the sentiment, typing: "No way she’s 11."
Further users took to the platform to praise young Kate, with a third writing: "She looks like a young Julie," referencing back to Julie Andrews.
"Future queen being a theatre kid is such a slay," a fourth said as a fifth penned: "OMG how gorgeous is that. What an asset to the Royal Family. There isn’t anything that this young lady can’t do!!! Congratulations!!!"
OK, this is just too cute.
