Camilla, Duchess of Cornwallshowed off her Jewish wedding-ready dance skills on Wednesday.
During her visit to Jewish Care’s Brenner Centre in East London to celebrate the organization’s 80th anniversary, musician Beverley Stone performed the classic Israeli folk song “Hava Nagila,” meaning “let’s rejoice.” After a little convincing, the 71-year-old royal linked arms with members of the Jewish community and clapped along to the beat.
“It was a lovely, wonderful experience, I think I’m dreaming,” said Abraham David, who danced with the duchess. “She put her hand out to mine and wanted to dance — I couldn’t believe it. I won’t sleep tonight I’m so excited.”

The Brenner Centre provides a place for many of the area’s elderly residents to meet up with friends, enjoy activities and dine on Kosher food. It also provides therapeutic activities for anyone needing special care or experiencing isolation – for many clients, it is the only time per week they leave their homes.
“This place saved my life,” she said. “It is my lifeline and my haven.”
Prince Charles‘ wife also met Beattie Orwell, who at 101 is the oldest member of the organization — who was among those who joined Camilla to dance!
Before leaving, Camilla unveiled a plaque to mark her visit and told the guests, “I sometimes go to places which are a bit sad, but this place is one of the most uplifting centers I’ve ever been to. Meeting all you wonderful, inspirational people has been a real treat.”
She added, “How most of you look so young, I don’t know!”
