Latrice Royale

She may not have a crown, but Latrice Royale is definitely RuPaul’s Drag Race royalty. She has competed on three seasons of the show, one of only a select few queens to do so.

Latrice first appeared on the show’s fourth season, and came in fourth place. She was so beloved and generated lots of great meme content (“get those nuts away from my face!”), so it was no surprise that she won that season’s Miss Congeniality. She then went on to compete on the first season of All Stars, in which queens competed in pairs and she was teamed up with Manila Luzon. They finished in 7th/8th place after being eliminated on the third episode.

She came back yet again (with Manila) to compete one more time on All Stars 4, but this time she got to compete solo. She was a major contender for the crown, but the judges weren’t as impressed by her as they usually were. She found herself eliminated 7th, but was then brought back and ended the competition in 5th place.

Latrice also appeared on the Drag Race spin-off RuPaul’s Drag U for its third season, along with other queens like JuJubee, Manila, Raja, Alexis Mateo, Chad Michaels, Willam, and others. She has released her own music, collaborated with Willam on the song “Thick Thighs” and Manila on “The Chop”, and has performed in countless world tours and one-woman shows.
