A few days later, I got a letter.This jaw-dropping moment really did happen, really was a total surprise to the Royal Opera House's entire audience of British VIPs, and really (OK, maybe) left Charles annoyed at what he felt was his wife's lack of decorum and attention-seeking behavior. Years after the dance, Sleep wrote in The Guardian: She loved the freedom dancing gave her. The pair danced a short contemporary sequence to Billy Joel’s 80s hit ‘Uptown Girl’, to uproarious applause and countless curtain calls from the audience. Picture: 48 Hours/YouTube.

She was in leg warmers and a leotard. Sleep described his first rehearsal with Diana to The Guardian in 2017: "We met in a rehearsal studio in west London. The event, held annually to raise money for the Royal Opera and Royal Ballet, often featured funny skits and surprise celebrity appearances indeed, the royal couple had appeared onstage at the previous year's event to perform in character as Romeo and Juliet, with Charles showcasing his singing skills with a rendition of the "Just One Cornetto" ice cream jingle, according to Tina Brown's The Diana Chronicles.Several weeks ahead of the 1985 event, Diana reportedly got the idea to surprise her husband with a dance—as something of a belated birthday surprise for his 37th birthday that November—and reached out to Wayne Sleep, a senior principal dancer of the Royal Ballet, to serve as her partner. Diana and Charles were scheduled to attend the "Friends of Covent Garden" charity event on Dec.
The routine had a bit of everything: jazz, ballet, even a kickline. "I think we got on because we were quite similar: We were both loners we both had to carve out our own paths (there were no traditional leading roles for me because of my height) we didn't set much store by protocol."To further illustrate the performance, Sleep also described the dance in his own words to The Guardian: "The audience gasped when Diana appeared, as if they'd all taken one huge breath. I'd cook, and she'd wash up," Sleep said. She would kick off her shoes and we'd have a giggle, talking about this and that: her kids, my work, nothing controversial.
As Sleep told The Guardian, "She loved the freedom dancing gave her. According to Brown, Charles' reaction could have been either "frigid disapproval of Diana's lapse in royal etiquette," or, as Sleep posited to the princess' biographer, sadness over being left out after their showstopping duet the previous year—or perhaps a bit of both.Of course, the most important reaction is that of the uptown girl herself, and Diana, for one, was thrilled with her performance. Her husband, however, may have been the one person in the audience not thrilled with the dance: While he may not have gone so far as to scold Diana for her "grotesque, mortifying display," as he does in The Crown, he reportedly appeared to act "coolly, even distantly" toward his wife at a reception after the event. I remember thinking, 'Don't drop the future Queen of England.'" A very important note to self!The performance was met with a standing ovation and no fewer than eight curtain calls, per Tina Brown's biography of the princess.
She wrote: 'Now I understand the buzz you get from performing.
