King Charles may be sitting on the British throne, but he is not immune to a little fun.

The 75-year-old king showed off his unexpected dancing skills by participating in an impromptu Samoan dance lesson at a Commonwealth celebration at St. James's Palace on Wednesday, October 2. Former Samoan rugby player Freddy Tuilagi took the lead in teaching Charles the traditional moves, and in a video released by the BBC, he reached out to invite the King to boogie.

Many invited guests cheered as Prince Charles shimmied alongside Tuilagi in hula-like movements as he tried to hand a drink to a man behind him. Queen Camilla watched with a smile as attendees clapped along with the royal performance.

According to the Telegraph, the rugby star approved of Charles' dancing. 'When I go to Samoa they dance like this. He affirmed that the monarch's performance was “good,” adding, “He's got moves.”

Prince Charles has actually danced many times at royal functions over the years, and his sons, Harry and William, seem to have inherited his love of movement. Even little Prince Louis can't seem to resist getting his groove on in public, and he enjoyed a bit of dancing at the Trooping the Colors parade in June.

This is not the first time Charles has had a blast with rugby players, and in September he enjoyed a group hug with the ladies of the New Zealand rugby league Black Ferns.

Singer Grace Jones added her own colorful memories to Wednesday's event, sharing her history with the royal family. 'I've met them a few times since James Bond. I even performed hula hoops for the Queen at the Jubilee. So we have a history.”

The star expressed a meaningful view of the Commonwealth, saying, “As a Jamaican, I believe there are positive aspects to the Commonwealth. As a Jamaican, I believe there are positives in the Commonwealth.

The head of the Commonwealth, King Charles, will attend this year's Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Apia, Samoa, later this month, along with Queen Kamila.

His dance lesson proved that Prince Charles is ready to embrace local traditions ahead of the royal couple's upcoming tour of Oceania, which will include a stop in Australia, in addition to a visit to Samoa. The reception was a preview of the tour, which will be King Charles' first major international trip since his cancer diagnosis earlier this year.

Buckingham Palace said, “The King and Queen will be on an autumn tour from Friday, October 18 to Saturday, October 26, 2024. This will include a royal visit to Australia, a state visit to the Independent State of Samoa, and attendance at the 2024 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).”

As for the King's dance, he is looking forward to similar festivities in Samoa.
