The Queen Consort has met with a young Nigerian ballet dancer who was the subject of a viral video that led to him being offered a scholarship.

Camilla wished Anthony Madu “good luck” when she visited Elmhurst Ballet School in Birmingham, where he now trains after a 44-second video posted online in 2020 of him pirouetting barefoot in the rain was watched more than 16 million times.

Madu’s story will now be made into a Disney documentary titled Madu, directed by Matt Ogens and Kachi Benson.
