In another video posted to Twitter, Charlotte stands on stage with the cast at the end of the performance. Kate appeared to talk to the dancers. It's not yet been confirmed if Kate treated Charlotte to the day out for her upcoming birthday.
But fans were thrilled to see the young royal out either way.

ED! has contacted reps for Kensington Palace for comment. It comes after reports claimed Prince William and Kate may cut their coronation plans short for the sake of Charlotte. King Charles will have his coronation next Saturday (May 6), at Westminster Abbey.
However, rehearsals will reportedly take place this week and they may interrupt Charlotte's birthday.
