Beatrice the ballerina: Princess visits English National Ballet School 23 years after her own Christmas dance performance

• Princess Beatrice visited the English National Ballet School in London yesterday
• The Royal seemed delighted as she spoke to dancers and watched them perform
• She is Royal patron of the school and met with Artistic Director, Viviana Durante
• Beatrice, 34, has passion for ballet and danced at school in her own winter show

Princess Beatrice looked graceful as she visited the English National Ballet School in London yesterday to meet with young ballerinas and celebrate their hard work.

The Royal appeared cheerful and at ease as she attended the dancers’ festive Winter Showcase, which included excerpts from the great ballets such as Swan Lake and Giselle.

The performance is held annually at the Chelsea School, where the Princess, who is passionate about the dance form and has practiced it herself, is Royal Patron.

The visit comes on the same day her cousin Prince Harry’s Netflix series dropped, waging fresh war on the royal family by saying The Firm is ‘part of the problem’ as Netflix show brands Britain ‘racist’ – and shows Meghan taking aim at ‘formal’ Kate and William.

It comes after an outing with her mother, Sarah Ferguson, at The Lady Garden Gala in London at Claridge’s Hotel on Tuesday.

It was recently reported that Sarah – known as Fergie – will be invited to spend Christmas with the Royal Family at Sandringham for the first time since she and Andrew divorced in 1992.

Beatrice is the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew, the Duke of York and Fergie. She married property developer Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in a private ceremony in July 2020.

Her latest royal engagement comes at a tense time for the Royal family, as Harry and Meghan – the Duke and Duchess of Sussex – release the first instalment of their bombshell Netflix documentary today.
