'They had great timing': Limerick man recalls teaching King Charles III to dance

'I’m a teacher and a principal, and it’s the first time in my career I can say I’ve taught a king and queen'

Not everyone can say they have taught a king to dance — but a Limerick principal and Irish music enthusiast did just this.

Liam Guiney, who is principal of Oola National School in East Limerick and lives in Annacotty near the city, put King Charles III and his wife Camilla, the new queen consort, through their paces during the then Prince of Wales’ visit to Ireland in March.
