Kate Middleton 'secretly went to upper-class 24-hour music festival' at Norfolk estate of her friend the Marchioness of Cholmondeley (after being persuaded by friends at a dinner party!)

The Princess of Wales, 41, is understood to have made her first ever visit to a music festival at the weekend, albeit a very upper-class one at Houghton Hall in Norfolk. Billed as Britain's only 24-hour music festival (pictured inset), it is the brainchild of DJ Craig Richards, who launched the event in 2017. More than 200 artists performed across 13 stages from last Thursday to Sunday with music playing somewhere on the Houghton Estate site at all times. More than 12,000 revellers were expected to attend. The idea came up at a dinner with the Marchioness of Cholmondeley (right). Pictured left is Prince William in a nightclub in June.
