The actor and dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov visited Buckingham Palace on Wednesday to receive a major award, first presented by the late Queen Elizabeth II.
His presence also marked the first individual reception that the 75 year old Camila held alone at Buckingham Palace since she and King Charles assumed their new roles in the royal family.
Legendary ballet dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov, who starred as Carrie Bradshaw’s love interest, has been honored by the Royal Academy of Dance with its highest honour, the ‘Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Award’.
Camilla, who wore a ballerina pin on her coat, told the famous dancer: ‘It’s such an honor to be able to present you with the award. No one deserves it more.”
Camila has previously revealed that she is taking ballet lessons.
Baryshnikov, who has Russian roots but lives in New York, said of Camila: “I live in the United States, but I have heard from those who have met her that they are enchanted by her simplicity, charm and humor. I wish King Charles and the royal consort a long reign and continue their lives serving the people.”
The 74-year-old today Mikhail Baryshnikov is considered one of the greatest dancers of the modern era. Born in Riga, Latvia, he rose to prominence with the Kirov Ballet in Leningrad, Russia. In 1974 he came to the West and four years later joined the New York City Ballet.
He was also nominated for an Oscar for ‘The Turning Point’.
From 1990 to 2002, Mikhail Baryshnikov was director and dancer of the White Oak Dance Project, which he co-founded with choreographer Mark Morris, to expand the repertoire and visibility of American modern dance.
In 2005, he founded the Baryshnikov Arts Center (BAC) in New York, a creative space designed to support interdisciplinary artists from around the world.
