Kate Middleton recently had a special outing with her youngest kiddos, Princess Charlotte, 8 and Prince Louis, 5 (Sorry, Prince George!). The three royals got the chance to visit the set of the U.K.’s version of Dancing with the Stars —called Strictly Come Dancing — and we are seriously jealous.
Per The Sun, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis were given the chance to sit in the judges’ chairs and hold up scorecards after a special performance from dancers Katya Jones and Neil Jones. They also got to meet other dancers and hosts, stand on the balcony where the contestants gather on the show, and they were even shown the costume department. Prince Louis reportedly got to try on a small gold crown from the costume team that definitely rivaled the Crown Jewels.
“Kate took pictures of the children in the judges’ seats,” a source told the outlet. “She was polite, sweet and charming with everyone and made sure Louis didn’t get over-excited.”
Well, that makes sense. Because any 5-year-old would be amped about such a special visit, and since Prince Louis is known for his adorable (and hilarious) antics, having an eye on him was probably the right move. We could totally see him (and honestly wish we had!) leaping around on the stage, waving the score paddles in the air, and losing his pretend crown in the process.
An insider said Kate and Charlotte are “huge” fans of the show, so they were “delighted to be invited.” And that checks out too.
“My daughter Charlotte likes dancing. She loves ballet and tap,” the Princess of Wales said in September.
She loves ballet?! That’s yet another way she’s like her grandma Princess Diana. (Who could forget their identical side eye?) Diana was a patron of the English National Ballet and reportedly wished to be a professional ballerina, but was too tall.
We don’t know if Prince Louis is a big dancer, but we know he loves the spotlight — or at least trolling photographers with his meme-able expressions. If he were to have a dance party, we think we know what album he would play based on a recent revelation from Prince William.
“Louis, my youngest, loves your songs,” he told OneRepublic last month.
We have no idea how that came to be, but now we have a major request for Strictly Come Dancing. Please have the young prince back, please play OneRepublic, and please allow cameras this time. That’s the kind of wholesome content we all need.
