Princess Kate made an unexpected move during a visit to Leicester on March 5. During the engagement, the Princess of Wales happily joined in with celebrations at a Hindu temple and even took part in a traditional dance.
The royal appeared relaxed and enthusiastic throughout the visit, surprising onlookers when she eagerly joined worshippers for the activity.
Princess Kate Middleton dances during Leicester outing
Princess Kate visited the Shreeji Dham Haveli Hindu Temple in the city. As a mark of respect when entering the building, she removed her high heels before stepping inside.
Soon after arriving, the smiling princess joined a women only group performing a traditional garba dance in front of a statue of the Hindu deity Lord Krishna. Before the dancing began, she was garlanded with flowers and had a bindi placed between her eyes.
Kate did not hesitate to participate. She joined the circle and followed along.
The dance is traditionally performed in a rotating formation as participants turn left and right while moving around the circle.
The Princess of Wales went without her usual Gianvito Rossi brown suede heels during the visit.
Instead, she appeared wearing nude tights along with a simple cream outfit that consisted of a blazer and a long pleated skirt.
Although it was not officially required, royal watchers have often noted that Queen Elizabeth II preferred female royals to wear tights at formal engagements.
