Even though Netflix's The Crown isn't historically accurate, it's still based on the lives of real people — and as such the cringe-factor often kicks into overdrive (hello, Tampongate).

Another of these moments comes in the form of then-Prince Charles breakdancing back in the 1980s — a moment which Dominic West, who plays the Prince in Season 5 of The Crown, cheerfully recreates in the above clip from Jimmy Kimmel Live!.

"I think we're gonna have to get you American citizenship," says Kimmel when he's finished, "because I don't think you're going to be allowed to go home."
