LONDON — The princess plays the blues.
The Princess of Wales made a surprise appearance on the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday night with a pre-recorded piano performance from Windsor Castle with Ukrainian hip-hop band Kalush Orchestra.
She wore an azure blue Jenny Packham one-shoulder dress with earrings inherited from the late Queen Elizabeth II.
The chiffon pleated dress retails for two,940 kilos on Net-a-porter, and was a quiet nod to the flag of Ukraine with its vivid blue hue.
Ukraine is ready to take part in this 12 months’s Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool, England with “Heart of Steel,” performed by Tvorchi.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine was banned from making a video appearance throughout the contest because the European Broadcasting Union said it could breach its political ban.

This shouldn’t be the primary time that the princess, and the royal family, have shown their support for Ukraine.
The princess joined U.S. First Lady Jill Biden at a pre-coronation reception last week, wearing vivid blue. Biden was wearing a black dress with a floral print in light blue and yellow. The 2 women posed alongside the primary lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, in one among the gilded rooms of the palace.
Middleton has worn Jenny Packham on several occasions before. She donned a glittering gold dress to the “No Time to Die” premiere in London in 2021. On her first royal tour in 2011 to Calgary, Canada, she opted for a yellow Jenny Packham tea dress.
Since turning 40 last 12 months, she has upped the ante with regard to her public image, wearing British brands in a show of support to her country.
