The royal couple will be stepping in for HM the Queen, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall who have all previously attended the show.

A spokesman for Buckingham Palace announced the news in a statement which read, "The Duke and Duchess are delighted to attend the forthcoming Royal Variety Performance."

So, who will William and Kate get to see perform? Think a star-studded line up including host comedian Michael McIntyre, Ed Sheeran, Ellie Goulding, Dame Shirley Bassey and Bette Midler.

The duchess has been making a fair few public appearances in the last couple of weeks proving that she's taking her second pregnancy all in her stride. And she's never looked so radiant.

As for what the duchess might wear for next week's Royal Variety Performance? With a new personal stylist at her side shaking up her wardrobe (the woman behind both the Temperley London and Jenny Packham outfits), guaranteed it's going to be head-turning.
