Latrice Royale

Star of Stage, Screen and Drag Latrice Royale stops by Behind the Awards to dish on all things, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Little Shop of Horrors, Stop! That! Train! and more! Listen to hear how much reality is in reality TV and Latrice’s journey from Color Guard to Miss Congeniality to her own show coming to a stage near you! Best known for her Chunky Yet Funky, Bold and Beautiful appearances on shows like “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and “We’re Here,” Latrice Royale made her long awaited 54 Below debut on the heels of her star turn as Audrey II in Ogunquit Playhouse’s Little Shop of Horrors . Touring extensively with her autobiographical cabaret shows Here’s to Life and Life Goes On with her husband Christopher Hamblin at the piano, Miss Royale’s vocals will shine as she shares stories along with some of her favorite tunes such as “With Every Breath I Take” and her own special spin on Aretha Franklin’s “RESPECT.” Latrice Royale captured the hearts of the world and earned the title of Miss Congeniality on Season 4 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” She then went on to appear in other incarnations of the franchise, including multiple guest appearances on the show, “RuPaul’s Drag U” and “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” Seasons 1 & 4, as well as representing “RuPaul’s Drag Race” on “Celebrity Family Feud.” Latrice also just completed her fourth residency at The Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas as part of the “RuPaul’s Drag Race: LIVE!” show, and just finished filming Season 2 of “RuPaul’s Drag Race: LIVE! UNTUCKED” for WOWPresentsPlus. In January 2021, Latrice made history by becoming the first queen to appear in drag on the QVC network, while promoting Ruby Royale nuts by Squirrel Brand. Since that time she has seen two successful runs on London’s West End Stage in DeathDrop . In addition to her guest star role on the Netflix series “AJ & The Queen,” Miss Royale also served as a special consultant to the writers of that show, helping shape the script and her character of Faberge Leggs, which became a fan-favorite from the series. The Large and in Charge Beautiful Queen has toured the world extensively, not only in group tours with her “RuPaul’s Drag Race” sisters, but her autobiographical one-queen-show Here’s to Life has seen sold out audiences in major cities all over the world, with an album of the same name available worldwide. Royale also toured over 30 cities in North America in 2023 with her debut solo tour Life Goes On , which she also self-produced through her company Latrice Royale, INC. / LRI Talent & Management. Always eager to lend her voice to help her community, Latrice was especially proud to be a keynote speaker on the steps of the State Capitol Building of the State of Florida in Tallahassee, speaking out against anti-drag legislation as part of the Drag Queen March in 2023.

Latrice Royale is an internationally acclaimed drag performer, actor, and motivational entertainer who captured the world’s heart on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 4, All Stars 1, and All Stars 4. Rob Forbes and Rozanne McKenzie had the opportunity to sit down with Latrice Royale and talk about her return to SA, how Drag Race has grown since her first appearance and much more: Show page

Before the world knew Latrice Royale from RuPaul’s Drag Race , she was spinning with Alliance of Miami Winter Guard , performing in the legendary Hotel California show and learning what it means to put her heart on the floor. In this special edition of On A Water Break With… , Latrice sits down with Ricardo Robinson-Shinall and Jeremy Williams to share how her marching-arts roots shaped everything that came after — the discipline, the storytelling, and the confidence that fueled her rise as a performer and drag icon. From unforgettable Alliance memories and the hilarious “1900s” moment to finding belonging, artistry, and self-expression through color guard, this conversation celebrates how the activity continues to inspire lives far beyond the gym floor. Latrice also talks about returning to WGI with AMP Winter Guard , connecting with a new generation of performers, and how those early lessons still drive her work on stages around the world. 💼 Presented by Guard Closet — Pre-Loved & Custom Marching Arts Gear guardcloset.com | IG @guardcloset 👑 Guest Latrice Royale | IG @latriceroyale | latriceroyale.com 🎙 Hosts Ricardo Robinson-Shinall – IG @ricardorrobinson Jeremy Williams – Executive Producer, On A Water Break Podcast 📢 Find On A Water Break 🌐 onawaterbreakpodcast.com 🎧 Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Amazon Music | YouTube 📩 onawaterbreakpodcast@gmail.com 📱 IG/FB/TikTok @onawaterbreak

Send us a text The world comes to a standstill when royalty enters the room. Latrice Royale—"large and in charge, chunky and funky"—brings her formidable presence to a conversation that transcends drag entertainment and dives deep into the soul of authenticity, self-love, and purposeful living. This raw, emotional exchange peels back the sequins and reveals Timothy—the resilient human behind the iconic Latrice Royale persona. With breathtaking candor, Latrice traces her journey from being "different" and not fitting any mold to deliberately transforming perceived weaknesses into superpowers. "If the skinny is doing it, I'm gonna work ten times harder to do the same things," she shares, revealing the determination that propelled her to legendary status. The conversation takes unexpected emotional turns as both Latrice and host Alethea Crimmins recognize their profound impact on each other's journeys toward self-acceptance. Latrice vulnerably discusses her mental health struggles, including a recent birthday where depression prevented her from receiving love from thousands of well-wishers. Her practical approach to recharging—surrounding herself with inspiring people who "make me love what I do again"—offers wisdom for anyone navigating similar challenges. Beyond personal revelation, Latrice delivers mic-drop insights about criticism ("I am living rent-free, doing laps inside of your mind"), chosen family ("I have chosen you"), and the deeper purpose of drag ("It shows you that you can be any and everything that you want to be"). Her message to her younger self brings tears: recognizing that being different would ultimately become her greatest strength. Whether you're a longtime fan or meeting Latrice for the first time, this conversation will leave you changed—inspired to stand in your truth, embrace your uniqueness, and as Alethea says, "have a good day on purpose." What parts of yourself have you been dimming? It's time to let that light shine. Support the show Have a Good Day On Purpose... YA' Welcome
