Princess Diana’s dream
First of all, Diana loved the ballet, and she dreamed of doing it professionally. Her highness dream was to be a prima ballerina absolutta! Indeed, she was passionate about the dance, up until she tragically passed, she still took private classes. She would go to the London Ballet and personally got involved with the dancers there – asking them what’s going on in their own lives and all that. She was like a friend and sympathetic ear and shoulder. Noteworthy, she even helped some of them out financially.

Prince Charles and Princess Diana went to the theater together. As they were looking at the play, Diana disappeared from the seat suddenly. And she appeared on the stage. It was a present from her to Charles.
