William, on the other hand, looked extremely handsome as he attended the prestigious gala alongside his wife of more than 8 years. Leaving the spotlight on Kate, the 37-year-old hunk donned a classic black tuxedo with a matching bow-tie. The adorable couple looked so in love as they arrived at the event.

According to the gala’s website, the Royal Variety Performance is a televised show held annually in the U.K. to raise money for the Royal Variety Charity — of which Queen Elizabeth is a longtime patron. Members of the royal family have been attending the annual event ever since King George V and Queen Mary attended a first royal performance in 1912. Wow!

Prior to stepping out at the 2019 gala, Kate and William made their last appearance at the Royal Variety Performance in 2017. At the time, Kate blew fans away as she donned an eye catching blue gown that featured an array of embellishments on the entire bodice. William, per usual, wore his signature tux.
