Last year,Meghan Markle and Prince Harry attended the eventon behalf of the royal family. But they are currently on asix-week break from their royal dutiesto spend some valuable “family time” together, a royal source confirmed to PEOPLE.
The origins of the Royal Variety Performance date back to 1912 when King George V and Queen Mary agreed to attend a “Royal Command Performance” at the Palace Theatre in London, in aid of the Variety Artistes’ Benevolent Fund. In July 1919, the second royal show was performed and was the first to be billed a “Royal Variety Performance.”
