Royal Variety Performance Goes Ahead Amid Security Alert

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the annual Royal Variety Performance at the Palladium Theatre in London.

The event promised a night of glamour and entertainment...

...However, one would not have thought so a couple of hours before it began as scenes of panic covered the area when Oxford Circus (the tube station close to the Palladium) was locked down following an incident. Given the horrific terror attacks this year, it was incredibly worrying; it's such a busy area in the heart of London. The Police responded with immediacy and efficiency and thankfully have not found any trace of shots fired or casualties. Officers continue to investigate and remain at the scene as we speak. It was deemed safe to reopen the street and decided the Royal Variety Performance would go ahead.

More from the Met:

As they say, the show must go on and the performance began later than scheduled.

It has long been tradition for members of the Royal family to make an appearance at the Royal Variety Performance - it dates back all the way to 1912 when the inaugural performance was watched by King George V and Queen Mary. In July 1919, a second royal show was performed. Held at London Coliseum, the show was staged as a 'celebration of peace' and, as the official announcement expressed it, "had been commanded by the King to show his appreciation of the generous manner in which artistes of the variety stage had helped the numerous funds connected with the War". Did you know the event once called for tiaras and jewels? Below, the late Queen Mother in her finery at the performance with the Beatles in 1963.

In recent times, the Queen has taken it in turns with the Prince of Wales to attend the show. In 2014, the baton was passed down to the younger generation with the Cambridges making their debut at the event followed by Prince Harry in 2015. The royal trio and Charles and Camilla are attending the event alternately.

The event is in aid of the Royal Variety Charity, formally, the Entertainment Artistes’ Benevolent Fund, of which the Queen is patron. The money raised from the show helps hundreds of entertainers throughout the UK, who need aid and assistance as a result of old age, ill-health or hard times. More from Wikipedia: "The charity is believed to be one of the few charities in the UK that has an unbroken line of patronage from the reigning monarch since George V in the early twentieth century. Queen Elizabeth II is the current sole life-patron of the charity."

The evening was hosted by Miranda Hart and included performances by the Killers, Paloma Faith, Louis Tomlinson and the Script. William and Kate met a number of performers as well as Royal Variety Charity and ITV executives, both before and after the show.

Kate sported her glittering Oscar de la Renta Platinum Lamé Cabrina pumps.

The shimmering $690 pumps are described as "Our enduringly classic Cabrina pumps are reworked for the new season in glistening platinum lamé. This Italian-made pair has a sleek, architectural silhouette with a pointed toe, scalloped sides and raised back.".
