A Sign of Princess Charlotte’s Ballet Training Was Spotted on a Recent Appearance — & Princess Diana Would Be So Proud

Eagle-eyed fans noticed a sign of Princess Charlotte’s dancing skills during a recent outing, and all former dancers can relate. The 10-year-old daughter of Prince William and Kate Middleton was photographed on Christmas Day, greeting fans and walking to church at the Sandringham estate. But at one point, she was photographed making a dancer pose that would make the late Princess Diana proud.

According to Hello!, insiders revealed that Princess Charlotte is “such a little star.” At the event, she stood next to Mia Tindall, with one foot crossed in front of the other and turned out in Fourth Position. It’s a natural resting pose for a trained dancer, and a reminder that Princess Charlotte is a mini ballerina-in-the-making!

In 2022, Prince William confirmed that Charlotte and her older brother Prince George, 12, have taken ballet lessons, which made their younger brother Prince Louis (now 7) jealous. “Charlotte, particularly, is running around the kitchen in her dresses and ballet stuff and everything,” William said. “She goes completely crazy with Louis following her around trying to do the same thing.”

Middleton chatted with a 7-year-old dancer during a visit to Standfast & Barracks in 2023, where she talked about her daughter’s love of dancing. “My daughter Charlotte likes dancing. She loves ballet and tap … keep up the dancing!” Middleton said.

Of course, Princess Diana was a dancer as well, who was a patron of the English National Ballet and famously danced with John Travolta at the White House.

In a previous video shared by Kensington Palace, Prince William opened up about his mother’s love of dancing. “My mother always used to dance. She loved dancing. And if it’s something you love, you do what you love. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. Keep at it.”

It seems like they’ve given the same advice to Princess Charlotte because she clearly still loves dancing ballet after all these years. Maybe one day we’ll get to see her perform too!
