Strictly Come Dancing Buckingham Palace move 'on the cards' as Charles and Camilla back plans

There could soon be a few foxtrots at Buckingham Palace, with speculation rife that Strictly Come Dancing could take place at The Queen's famous home.

While the country continues to honour Her Majesty's seven decades on the throne, following the four day Platinum Jubilee celebrations last year, it's being reported that her son Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall are huge fans of the long-running BBC show and are keen to bring it to the world famous residence. A source has told The Sun that the royals are "very much driving" the chance of Strictly coming to Buckingham Palace and that "the BBC couldn’t quite believe what was being offered."

A spokesperson for the Royal Family has "declined to comment," on the rumours that the quarter final or semi final of Strictly' s new series could be held at the palace in a ballroom which has hosted 112 state banquets over the years and that Charles and Camilla could even be the hosts, following their recent cameo on EastEnders. The source added that: "a lot of work needs to be done," to get the proposals over the line."
