'He landed in a helicopter and we only found out on the day that he was coming.

'The prince shook hands with me and I said 'it would be wonderful if you could dance with us'.

'As we were going in the parade, I held his hand and he said 'your costumes look lovely, you seem to be unbeatable'. There must have been over 10,000 people there.

'We still can't believe it really. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity we didn't really expect.

'Considering he was wearing a suit and he had just arrived, he was a good dancer, he was clearly enjoying himself.'
