The ballet and arts in general are known to be a real passion for the Princess of Wales.
Just earlier this month, Princess Kate confirmed she had completed her course of preventative chemotherapy.
She first announced she was beginning the treatment in March, two months after undergoing major abdominal surgery.
The royal spent 13 days in The London Clinic, the same hospital where King Charles was treated for an enlarged prostate.

For the whole of 2024, Kate has been recuperating in private at her Windsor home, Adelaide Cottage.
She made two official public appearances – one to Trooping the Colour, and the other to the Wimbledon final with Princess Charlotte and Pippa Matthews.
In her video announcing the end of her chemotherapy treatment, Kate did say she was hoping to begin a gradual return to work.
On September 17, the 42-year-old held her first work meeting in over nine months, as recorded by The Court Circular.
