Royal fans all say the same thing about Princess Charlotte’s secret nod to Diana at Kate’s Christmas Carol service

EAGLE-EYED royal fans are all saying the same thing about Princess Charlotte’s subtle nod to Diana at last night’s Christmas Carol service.

The nine-year-old left fans delighted after she joined her brothers, Prince George, 11, and Prince Louis, six to attend their mother, Princess Kate's, Christmas Carol concert in London.

The Waleses middle child looked adorable in a gorgeous maroon coat, which was paired with navy tights and dark Mary Jane shoes.

Charlotte styled her hair in her signature half up-do which was finished with a bow.

But many royal fans all spotted the young girl’s secret nod to the late Princess Diana, her grandmother, who died on Sunday, 31 August 1997. 

Viewers noticed that the youngster’s stance may have been a subtle nod to Diana - as she stood confidently in a ballet pose.

Writing on X, one user penned: "Princess Charlotte standing in her ballet position."

A second one added: "Princess Charlotte is really standing in her ballet pose."

Whilst a third one said: "Look at Charlotte’s ballet stance.";

It’s known that Charlotte is a ballet fan and has reportedly been taking weekly private ballet lessons at a dance school in south London.

Her proud mum Kate, who this year has been battling cancer, is also known to have taken her daughter to watch The Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House in central London.

She was even surprised last night when ballet dancers performed right in front of her during the festive service - a secret Prince Louis had been keeping for weeks, according to the Princess of Wales, 42.

The young royal’s love of dance is a passion that links her with her late grandmother and is something that the late Princess Diana would no doubt be happy about - as she adored it too.

Diana aspired to be a professional ballerina in her younger years and went on to become patron of the English National Ballet.

She enjoyed dancing so much that she even put on a surprise display at London's Royal Opera House.

In December 1985, Charles and Diana attended a gala performance at the storied venue.

And much to the amazement of the audience, midway through the performance, the Princess quietly left her seat in the Royal Box to grace the stage with dancer Wayne Sleep.

They danced to Billy Joel's Uptown Girl, which was Diana's song choice.

Last night, the future Queen told singer Paloma Faith, who performed at the service, that she had asked Louis: "Can you keep a secret otherwise it won’t be a surprise for Charlotte, who loves her ballet dancing."

She said that Louis agreed, as she explained: "He has kept the secret for, what, nearly two weeks now.

And then this morning he said: “Mummy, please can I tell her - I’m bursting'. I did drop off, and he really wanted to tell her. I think - hopefully - he’s kept it.”

Both Kate and Prince William, also 42, have previously talked about Charlotte's love of the sport, with Kate confirming that her little girl "loves" dance when talking to English National Ballet director Tamara Rojo in 2017.

Her dad William echoed her comments when he spoke to former Maltese president Joseph Muscat back in 2018.

And during a visit to a Yorkshire textile mill, the Princess of Wales chatted about her daughter's love for ballet and tap dancing.

Speaking to a seven-year-old girl named Emily, Kate shared: "My daughter Charlotte likes dancing, she loves ballet and tap. Keep up the dancing."
