    KYLIE MINOGUE WOWS IN STELLA MCCARTNEY AT THE Q AWARDS

    The pop princess performed three of her hit songs for the royal couple and other famous faces from Papua New Guinea, Australia and New Zealand, the three nations Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall will be visiting on their Diamond Jubilee Tour. The evening also included performances from traditional Maori dancers and musicians.

    The petite songstress looked gorgeous in a black cutaway embellished bodice dress as she sang her hits On A Night Like This, I Believe In You and the Locomotion, asking her audience: ‘The big question is, are you ready to swing your hips now?!’

    Kylie even showed off her cheeky side when chatting to the royal couple after her performance; upon hearing that the Duchess of Cornwall had never been to Australia, Kylie jokingly reprimanded Camilla, who looked elegant in a blue lace dress and multi-strand pearl necklace, calling her 'naughty Duchess,' before wishing the royal couple: 'Bon voyage, have a fantastic trip.'

    En route to the evening's celebrations, Kylie got followers excited when she tweeted a picture of a solider on guard duty outside St. James' Palace with the text: 'One is on one's way to St. James Palace! #oooh.'

    After performing her hits - an experience she found 'terrifying but great' - Kylie said of the royal appointment:

    ‘It's been such a brilliant year to be in my home, the UK, and so to send the royals off on this trip it felt fitting to be part of the farewell for them.’

    ‘Whenever anyone asks where should they go in Australia then I say “What do you want?” because almost everything you want is there.
