'The X Factor' UK judge Gary Barlow performs for Kate Middleton

Gary Barlow found himself in a rather enviable position on Tuesday night -- receiving the opportunity to perform for the Duchess of Cambridge herself.

Before the concert at the Royal Albert Hall began, the "X Factor" judge (who is working to help Marcus Collins win the whole competition) posted the following on his Twitter page:

"For anyone coming to the Albert Hall tonight we have an extra special guest just confirmed"

Not too much later, multiple outlets picked up that it was Kate Middleton who was in attendance for the big event -- and she seemed more than happy to be there.

The event was at its core a fundraiser for the Prince's Trust, and Barlow was doing his part to help give back.

Are you happy for Gary?
