Prince William joins the ballet

Published Friday, Oct 21 2005, 12:50 BST | By Dave West
Prince William has been working with Russian ballerinas as part of his work experience, according to The Mirror.

The Prince is at Chatsworth House, a picturesque countryside estate, because he wants a career in land management, it is thought. "He is fascinated by the environment, like his father. His true interest lies in the countryside," a royal aide told the newspaper.

William, who recently completed a year of voluntary work abroad, has got on well with the dancers, according to the aide, but will not be performing himself. Instead his role is to build and arrange sets.

He will also complete work placements with HSBC bank, a mountain rescue team and the army.
