A mystery man who was spotted at the Princess of Wales' carol service leaving royal fans scratching their heads has finally been identified.

Standing directly behind Kate, Prince William and their three children - Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six - many were baffled at the identity of the man.

The concert-goer was even nicknamed the 'Clark Kent' of the British royal family, with many wondering why they hadn't seen him attending any royal events previously.

The concert - which the public will be able to watch on telly under the title Together At Christmas on Christmas Eve - marks the fourth event of its kind, with the princess having hosted her third one in December 2021.

"A wonderful time spent together with friends, family and those who make a real difference to the people around them," she wrote on Instagram.

"This year’s Together at Christmas Carol Service celebrated individuals who have inspired, counselled, comforted, and above all else shown that love is the greatest gift we can receive. Thank you for all you do!"

But one photo from the event has since gone viral, thanks to the mysterious man in the second row.

Appearing to be in his mid-30s, standing heads taller than any other guest in the photo, and wearing a sophisticated pair of specs, the man roused the interest of hundreds of viewers of the festive photo.

It isn't just his handsome looks that have set tongues wagging, however, as other spectators have been left wondering why someone as important as to have sat on the second row has not attended royal events in the past.

Finally, however, the man has been identified by experts.

Lady Rose is the youngest daughter of Prince Richard, the Duke of Gloucester, who himself was cousins with the late Queen Elizabeth II, and grandson to King George V, and Birgitte van Deurs Henriksen.

She has attended several royal events - including King Charles' 2023 Coronation - though she and her husband George live a relatively normal life.

Well, normal-ish. Lady Rose has taken on several film roles in her career, including in two Harry Potter movies, and worked behind the scenes for the art department of UK sketch series, Little Britain.

George, meanwhile, who wed Lady Rose in Queen's Chapel, St James Palace, in 2008, works as director of asset management for Resolution Property.

The couple are parents to Lyla, 14, and Rufus, 12.
