As a cast interview with EW notes, Lady Camden studied at the Royal Ballet school and actually performed for none other than Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles before moving to Sacramento, and subsequently San Francisco, to hone her craft outside the UK. Her style is a fascinating concoction of funky pop culture references — consider her instantly iconic Freddie Mercury runway presentation (via YouTube) — and chic ballet aesthetics, marking her out as one to watch early on.
As Camden explained, she found it difficult fully expressing herself in the ballet world, where the lines between masculine and feminine are very clearly drawn. “I wasn’t bulky and butch enough, so there was weird body shaming going on,” she admitted. The “Drag Race” star discovered drag while recovering from various injuries when she began experimenting with makeup and clothes at home, but ballet notably still informs her looks.
Camden’s impressive dance background immediately established her as a fierce competitor, with Angeria Paris VanMicheals telling Decider emphatically, “The fiercest thing about Lady Camden is her dancing. Her ballet background? Sickening.”
