An old clip of King Charles III breakdancing in 1985 has taken TikTok by storm. From knee shuffles to popping, Britain’s soon-to-be coronated King’s dad dancing has everyone on social media laughing out loud.
A TikTok user by the name ‘Royal Daily Tea’ managed to dig up an old video clip of the then-37-year-old crown prince busting out some dance moves to entertain a young crowd during his visit to Middleton-on-Sea in West Sussex at a Youth Meets Industry course along with 300 other people. The course was organized and funded by the Prince’s Trust in 1976 to help the youth get their lives on track.
During the royal visit, Prince Charles got to meet and interact with the young crowd that managed to get him to breakdance in front of everyone. However, one thing was clear — the royal heir was not formally trained in the art of dancing.
Not one to disappoint the crowd, the young prince got everyone cheering him on for his impromptu breakdance.
People on social media laughed at the cringey, old-school dance routine but admired his willingness to be a sport.
The King Always Liked to ‘Shake a Leg’
This isn’t the first time that King Charles took to the dance floor. Back in 2012, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall danced in a ‘parachute game’ in Guernsey.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on 8 September 2022, Charles III is the heir to the crown. His coronation as the King of the United Kingdom will take place on 6 May 2023, as announced by Buckingham Palace last week.
As part of a long-standing tradition dating over 900 years, t73-year-old Charles will be formally crowned at London’s Westminster Abbey.
Here’s hoping the future King of the United Kingdom busts out some new dance moves at his coronation as well. What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.
