The new series of The Crown has already proved controversial with some of its upcoming storylines being questioned over their historical accuracy.
But one rather bizarre scene that will reportedly feature in the new season involving King Charles did actually happen and footage of it has resurfaced online - much to royal fans delight. The hilarious clip shows Charles, who was then Prince of Wales, trying his hand at breakdancing during a visit to a Princes Trust event in West Sussex in 1985. The fun clip shows a group of young dancers taking to a dancefloor with booming music and showing off some seriously impressive moves.
And they couldn't help but ask Charles to get involved and after little coaxing, they finally get him on the dancefloor, where he attempts some body popping and even a moonwalk, leaving the crowd delighted.
Now the clip has resurfaced on Tik Tok, with many younger royal fans unable to believe that the now-King gave the dance a go.
One commented and joked he is the "real King of Hip Hop”, while another said: "How kool our king is a breakdancer and we didn't even know it."
Earlier this week Netflix defended The Crown as a "fictional dramatisation" amid criticism of its forthcoming fifth series.
Sir John Major is said to have described upcoming scenes, which reportedly depict the King, then the Prince of Wales, plotting to oust the Queen, as "malicious nonsense".
The new series, which will launch on November 9, is expected to show Charles cutting short a holiday with Diana, Princess of Wales, to host a secret meeting with former prime minister Sir John at Highgrove in 1991.
For the forthcoming series of the lavish royal drama, which features recast roles, Dominic West stars as Charles, while Elizabeth Debicki plays Diana and Imelda Staunton the Queen.
A spokeswoman for The Crown said: "The Crown has always been presented as a drama based on historical events.
"Series five is a fictional dramatisation, imagining what could have happened behind closed doors during a significant decade for the royal family – one that has already been scrutinised and well-documented by journalists, biographers and historians."
The fourth series of the lavish Netflix drama also attracted criticism for allegedly not doing enough to ensure viewers knew it was a work of fiction.
Oliver Dowden, the then culture secretary, asked Netflix to add a disclaimer to episodes, a request the company rejected.
Although there is no disclaimer on the individual episodes, when viewers tune in on the service the show is labelled with a “log line” as a fictional drama based on historical events.
The Crown was due to end after the fifth series, but the show’s creator and writer, Peter Morgan, later said it would be extended to include a sixth series.
