George Harrison Didn't Understand Why The Beatles Played the Royal Variety Performance in 1963

George Harrison didn’t understand why The Beatles played at the Royal Variety Performance in 1963. The group performed for Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, and Princess Margaret, alongside some of the best acts of the time. George wondered who nominated the band to perform at such a prestigious show.

It was an honor but also a bit of a hindrance too. He wondered if The Beatles’ performance on the variety show was fair for fans who couldn’t afford to buy tickets.
By mid-1963, The Beatles were becoming one of the hottest rock ‘n’ roll groups. Both “From Me To You” and “She Loves You” had reached No. 1. In October, they starred on Sunday Night at the London Palladium. More than 15 million viewers tuned in to watch.
