A Ballerina and a Guardsman

Simone Clarke, principal dancer of the English National Ballet who stars as Sugar Plum Fairy in the production of “Nutcracker,” playfully makes a funny face in front of a guardsman at Buckingham Palace on December 14. The cast of the Nutcracker visited Buckingham Palace in order to participate in a party hosted by Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, who sponsors the English National Ballet.
