Prince Charles, next in line to the throne in Britain, wore traditional robes as he danced during a festival of culture in Saudi Arabia.
He took part in the sword dance in the capital Riyadh, during a tour of the Middle East, which will also include a visit to Qatar.
The dance, called the Ardah, was performed as part of the Janadriyah Festival, a two-week cultural extravaganza that celebrates Saudi heritage.
Official royal visits have seen Prince Charles take to the dancefloor on a number of occasions, as euronews’ montage below shows.
It includes, perhaps most infamously, breakdancing in the 1980s and doing the waltz in Glasgow, Scotland.
