QUEEN Camilla once joked that she wanted to star in one of her favourite shows, BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing.
The 77-year-old is said to have told the Sun’s royal photographer Arthur Edwards that she would be up for the dancing experience.
Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, legendary snapper Arthur shared a conversation they had while dancing.
He stated: “I danced with Camilla once, and when we finished, she said ‘oh, we should go Strictly!’
“After she said ‘But don't tell the king.”
Royal broadcaster Sarah Hewson jokingly replied: “You know the curse of Strictly!”
Over the years, numerous celebrities have waltzed into the competition only to find their off-screen relationships crumbling.
This has included the likes of comedian Seann Walsh being seen kissing his married professional partner Katya Jones, despite having a girlfriend at the time.
Arthur praised Queen Camilla and King Charles for their dancing prowess, saying: “She's a great dancer, and she knows everything.
“I've seen her doing the Cha, Cha, Cha.
“The King did this Indian rain dance, I can't believe it.
“He went to this village in India where one of his charities had supported them, and they built a dam and then collected enough water for two years.
“They started this rain dance, and he got an umbrella and he started dancing with him. It was fantastic.
“Nothing endears people to people as when they join in and do something together.”
Sarah pointed out that Camilla has long been a fan of Strictly and said: “She also joined the Silver Swans, didn't she in lockdown, ballet dancing.”
This follows King Charles’ Commonwealth playlist beating the likes of Spandau Ballet, Joy Division and Beethoven.
The monarch recently chose 17 tracks for his The King’s Music Room show from artists including Beyonce, Kylie Minogue and Bob Marley.
It was released on Apple Music to mark Commonwealth Day on Monday before he attended a Westminster Abbey service with William, Kate and Camilla.

His compilation has been top of the music podcast Apple charts in the UK.
Sarah continued: “I wonder if you know when these tracks come on at home, at Clarence House, or at Highgrove, or wherever they may be, whether they get up and have a little dance?”
The hour-long royal list, narrated by Charles, has beaten podcasts by radio stars Annie Mac and Nick Grimshaw.
It is also above releases about legendary band Joy Division, shows on the classical music and house music scene, and a podcast with Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp.
Doctors say the diplomatic King has made encouraging progress a year on from his cancer diagnosis.
HIGHGROVE House is located in the Cotswolds, just miles from Tetbury in Gloucestershire.
The Georgian home dates back to the 1780s and was bought by the then-Prince Charles from Maurice Macmillan, a former politician in 1980.
Each of the gardens reflect the interests of King Charles, who has long held a deep commitment to environmental efforts and a sustainable lifestyle.
The King has even planted rare trees and heritage seeds to ensure these varieties continue flourishing for future generations.
Highgrove is located within 347 acres of sprawling countryside with the Royal Gardens often open for tours, including group garden tours and champagne and tea tours.
There is even a shop that sells artisan products like ports and chutneys.
All profits from the produce on sale, garden tours and events are donated to the Prince of Wales’ Charitable Fund, which supports mental and physical health activities, the arts and the environment.
Highgrove House itself is closed to the public as it is the private home of King Charles III and the Queen Consort Camilla.
