New photo Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte watch The Nutcracker ballet in London

The Duchess of Cambridge took Princess Charlotte for a mother-daughter trip to the ballet, it has been revealed. 

Kate, 36, brought her three-year-old daughter along to watch a rehearsal of the Royal Ballet's production of The Nutcracker at the Royal Opera House, in London, last week ahead of its opening night on Monday. 

Social media photos emerged showing the royal mother and daughter in the auditorium following the performance.

Festive favourite: Dancers from the Royal Ballet on stage at the Royal Opera House

Ballet fan Kate, who also watched The Nutcracker last year, looked perfectly polished in a fitted black turtleneck and what appeared to be a midi grey tartan skirt. 

Meanwhile Charlotte was dressed in a pretty white dress with delicate puff sleeves. 

It is not known what day the mother and daughter visited the theatre. The visit was not announced ahead of time, making it likely that the pair attended in a private capacity. 

Charlotte is understood to take after her grandmother Princess Diana, who was fond of ballet and dance in general. 

Prince George, five, is also believed to take ballet lessons as part of the curriculum at his school, Thomas's Battersea.

The Duchess of Cambridge is known to be a fan of the show and last year made a surprise appearance at an evening performance.  

Then pregnant with Prince Louis, Kate spent time chatting to dancers after the show. 

Meaghan Hinkis, a soloist with The Royal Ballet, shared a photo on her Instagram account following their special visit.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
