Princess Beatrice was pictured beaming during a low-key London appearance.
The Princess of York, 35, was photographed visiting the Peacock Theatre for a performance by the English National Ballet School, of which she has been a Royal Patron since 2015.
The school is a world-renowned ballet training centre for young ballet dancers from around the world, aged 16 to 19.
It gives talented young dancers the opportunity to train regardless of a student's financial ability, through subsided tuition fees and scholarships.

Taking to Facebook, the school posted a picture of Princess Beatrice visiting the theatre and meeting several ballet dancers.
They captioned the post: "We had the pleasure of being joined by our Patron, Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice, who watched our students perform in My First Ballet: Swan Lake at London’s Peacock Theatre yesterday.
"Following the performance Princess Beatrice met our Artistic Director, Viviana Durante and students who had just performed on stage."
The visit took place on April 11, Beatrice's first meeting with the school since December 2022.

The princess is passionate about dance, having practised ballet herself as a child and performing on stage at school events.
During her visit to the theatre, the mother-of-one met the famous ballerina Viviana Durante, who is now Artistic Director of the school’s shows.
For a week, the English National Ballet School took over London’s Peacock Theatre to present Swan Lake, suitable for children aged three and over.
Workshops are also being organised alongside the performance.
