King Charles has some piping hot dance moves! The King showed off his skills on the dance floor at a reception preceding the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) on Wednesday in Samoa. His wife, Queen Camilla , Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Duke of Kent accompanied him for the special evening. Charles, 75, and Camilla, 77, are set to visit Samoa for CHOGM and Australia while in Oceania.
The King and Queen held a reception at St. James’s Palace to celebrate the Commonwealth Diaspora. While at the event, Charles took an impromptu Samoan dance lesson from former Samoan professional rugby player Freddie Tuilagi.
Tuilagi held out his hand and asked the King for a dance, per the Telegraph . “I told [the] King I’m going to dance for you — when you go to Samoa, this is how they will dance,” the athlete said after the performance. When asked how the King’s dancing abilities ranked, Tuilagi responded, “Good.
He’s got the moves.” Singer Grace Jones was also at the reception. “I have met them a few times, ever since James Bond,” she said of Charles and Camilla, per the outlet.
“I also did the hula hoop for the Queen at the Jubilee. So we have a history.” She continued, “Being Jamaican, I believe that the Commonwealth has positives.
It’s a very good thing that brings people together in a positive way.” The King became Head of the Commonwealth after taking over the throne following the 2022 death of his mother , Queen Elizabeth, at age 96.
