There’s something truly magical about the way traditions carry forward through generations, especially within the royal family. One of those traditions? A love for dancing, passed down from Princess Diana to her grandson, Prince George. During a heartwarming reception at Kensington Palace, Prince William opened up about his son’s passion for dance, proving that this royal family trait isn’t just a fleeting interest—it’s a cherished part of their legacy.
Prince William Shares Heartwarming Words About Prince George’s Love for Dance
When Prince William hosted a reception at Kensington Palace for a group of inspiring teenagers, the conversation naturally turned to shared passions. In a video shared by the Palace’s official Twitter account, William spoke with Junior, one of the attendees, about their mutual love for dance. “George is doing dancing as well, he loves it,” William said with a proud smile. “My mother always used to dance, she loved dancing. If it’s something you love, you do what you love. Don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise. Keep at it.”
These words carry more weight than they might seem on the surface. For William, dance wasn’t just a hobby—it was a connection to his late mother, Princess Diana, who was known for her graceful moves and joyful spirit on the dance floor. By encouraging George to embrace his love for dance, William is not only supporting his son’s interests but also honoring his mother’s memory in a deeply personal way.

A Dance Off Between Prince William and Junior? Not Quite
During their conversation, Junior revealed that he’s learning how to street dance, which sparked a playful moment between the two. “Can you spin on your head?” William asked, teasing the young dancer. While Junior admitted he still needed to master that particular move, William playfully admitted that his own breakdancing skills leave much to be desired. “Breakdancing [is] literally where I break myself,” he joked, drawing laughter from those around him.
But don’t underestimate Prince George just yet! Unlike his dad, the young prince has been taking ballet lessons at St Thomas’s Battersea, a school known for nurturing creativity and expression through dance. According to the school’s website, these classes help students develop physical skills, stamina, creativity, expression, and musicality—all while having fun. It’s clear that George’s passion for dance isn’t just about following in his grandmother’s footsteps; it’s about finding joy in movement and self-expression.
Princess Diana: The Original Royal Dance Floor Queen
Princess Diana’s love for dance was legendary, and one of her most memorable moments came during her visit to the White House in 1985. When she danced the night away with John Travolta, it became a cultural moment that captured the world’s attention. “I’ll never forget it,” John recalled in an interview with Één. Apparently, it was Nancy Reagan’s wish that the two would share a dance, and the result was nothing short of magical.

“At midnight, I had to tap her on her shoulder, and I had to say, ‘Would you care to dance?’ She turned around and dipped her head in that Lady Diana way and we were off for 15 minutes dancing,” John recalled. “It was her favorite moment. So I feel I made her life better, she made my life better, and I’m very sorry that she’s not here.”
