As Gossip Cop has reported, the Royal Variety Performance is an annual charity gala that dates back to 1912. The variety show serves as a fundraiser for Entertainment Artistes’ Benevolent Fun. Members of the monarchy attend each year, with a tux-clad Prince Harry among the notables sitting in the audience at the Royal Albert Hall for the 2015 event.
In addition to One Direction, Little Mix also performed, along with Elton John, Ricky Martin, and Josh Groban. Other participants included Kacey Musgraves, Brandon Flowers, and Kylie Minogue. Continuing tradition, the reigning “Britain’s Got Talent” winners also took the stage.
For One Direction, it was the group’s second year in a row performing. Groban amusingly tweeted from backstage, “I just met @onedirection while wearing a bathrobe. Long story. #RoyalVariety #hiphip.” Making it all the more special, the event coincided with the release of the group’s new album, Made In The A.M.
Next week, One Direction will travel to the United States for a number of promotional appearances to support the album. That will include an outdoor concert for “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Check out a clip of the Royal Variety Performance below, and stay tuned for longer video.
