Princess Charlotte, the daughter of Princess Kate, has forged a unique bond with her grandfather, King Charles.
The young royal shares a common interest with the monarch, creating a heartwarming connection between the generations.
During Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebration, it was Princess Charlotte who captivated everyone’s attention as she sat on her grandfather’s lap in public.
The recent display of affection between King Charles and his granddaughter has sparked curiosity about their relationship.
It seems that Princess Charlotte’s love for ballet is what brings them closer.
On Tuesday night, King Charles and Queen Camilla attended a special performance by the Royal Ballet to express gratitude to teachers and frontline NHS workers.
The king couldn’t help but express his delight to the stars of the show, confessing that he couldn’t stop tapping his feet throughout the performance.
It’s no wonder that 8-year-old Princess Charlotte longed to be part of this royal occasion.
She, too, is an ardent ballet enthusiast.
Her passion for dance was first revealed by Princess Kate in 2017, stating that Charlotte absolutely adores ballet.
Prince William also confirmed his daughter’s hobby, sharing how she would prance around the kitchen in her dresses and ballet gear.
This year, during a conversation with a young girl, Princess Kate proudly mentioned that her daughter loves ballet and tap dancing, encouraging the young girl to keep dancing.
Princess Charlotte’s dedication to ballet extends beyond mere admiration.
She celebrated her birthday with a visit to the Royal Opera House and delighted in watching the Royal Canadian Ballet and the National Ballet’s enchanting performance of Cinderella in April.
In fact, back in 2018, it was reported that Princess Charlotte was taking private ballet lessons at a dance school in South London called Lambrec.
Interestingly, the same school also offers ballet classes.
Princess Charlotte’s love for ballet is not only shared by her grandfather, but also by her grandmother, Queen Camilla.
The queen herself took ballet lessons at the Silver Swan, a ballet school for older dancers.
However, it is from her late grandmother, Princess Diana, that Princess Charlotte inherited her talent and passion for dance.
As a child, Princess Diana aspired to become a professional ballerina, but her dreams were thwarted due to her height.
Nonetheless, her love for dancing was evident when she surprised everyone with a performance at London’s Royal Opera House in December 1985, alongside professional dancer Wayne Sleep.
Looking ahead, one can’t help but wonder if Princess Charlotte has a ballet date on her winter calendar.
Perhaps she will attend a Christmas extravaganza, accompanied by her doting grandfather.
