Charles and Camilla news

Meanwhile, it comes after reports claimed Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, want to host an episode of Strictly from Buckingham Palace this year.

According to The Sun, the show’s quarter or semi-finals could see the royal broadcast happen.

A source said: “Charles and Camilla are very much driving this and the BBC couldn’t quite believe what was being offered.

“Strictly at Buckingham Palace is just TV dreamland. It should be a wonderful spectacle.”

But that’s not all. The report also claimed that Charles and Camilla could even perform a dance.

In addition, the insider added: “Holding the show at Buckingham Palace’s ballroom would be a wonderful treat as we celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this year. A lot of work needs to be done to get it over the line.”

Strictly is expected to return later this autumn for a brand new series.

Anton Du Beke will return as a judge alongside Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse.
