The hit TV show ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ has become a favorite among members of the Royal Family, including King Charles and Queen Camilla. Princess Kate and Princess Charlotte are also known to be avid fans, with Kate having visited rehearsals and Charlotte taking to the judges’ seats. However, it is the Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, who has expressed a desire to participate in the competition, as revealed by dancer Johannes Radebe on ‘The Jonathan Ross Show.’ Sophie, a self-proclaimed fan of the show, has conveyed her wish to Radebe but acknowledges the impossibility of her participation due to her royal status.
Sophie’s fondness for ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ is not isolated within the Royal Family. Queen Camilla’s admiration for the show dates back to 2011, and she has expressed interest in taking up tap dancing herself. Radebe has gifted Camilla with a pair of tap shoes, offering her the opportunity to pursue her interest. Moreover, Craig Revel Horward, a judge on the show, has voiced his desire for Camilla to join as an honorary judge.
The late Queen Elizabeth was also reportedly a fan of ‘Strictly Come Dancing,’ highlighting the show’s popularity within the Royal Family. In 2020, Camilla and Prince Harry sent messages of support to be aired on the show, further solidifying the connection between the royals and the dancing competition.
