On Friday (November 1), Belgian dance teacher Jeny Bonsenge and her nine-year-old student-turned-prodigy Anaé graced the sofa after a video of the pair dancing together went viral online – garnering more than 16 million views in total.

“I have been filming us dancing together for a while, but this video put a lot in motion,” Bonsenge told Bruzz. “People think our videos are nice because of the diversity.”

But what they didn’t know is that Meghan Markle suggested that the duo appear on the hit US show, sending the clip to close friend DeGeneres.

“Do you know how I found the two of you?” DeGeneres teased during the interview. “Meghan Markle sent me this video. She texted me and said, ‘What do you think of this, how great is this girl?'”

The pair looked visibly shocked with Anaé hiding her face in disbelief, as the television audience cheered the performers.

DeGeneres continued, adding: “I know, I said ‘I can’t wait for everybody to see how amazing this is’.”

DeGeneres has long been friends with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and recently met their newborn son, Archie, during a trip across the pond.

“I just want to say: It was an honour for them to meet me,” the 61-year-old joked, going on to describe the royal couple as “so down to earth”.

When Prince Harry recently came under fire for using private jets amid the climate change crisis, the talk show host famously defended them via social media.

“Portia and I met Prince Harry and Meghan in England to talk about their work on wildlife conservation,” she wrote on Twitter. “They were the most down-to-earth, compassionate people. Imagine being attacked for everything you do, when all you’re trying to do is make the world better.”
