Life and career

Wilcots was born in California and raised in Compton, a city in Greater Los Angeles. He didn't have a relationship with his father when he was growing up.

Wanda, a woman from American sketch comedy show In Living Color, was dressed up as Prince William's first foray into drag, to amuse his friends. He appeared in his first drag performance in the 1990s when he was in his twenties in Fort Lauderdale, Florida: the Copa Night Club in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Inc. Tiffany Arieaas is her drag mother.

Wilcots was appointed a minister after coming into the public eye. Daniel's first wedding was held in upstate New York in 2013. The Royale is a promoter of marriage equality, but he believes that it should not be called "gay marriage" because "It's a man and a woman getting married, and a man and a woman getting married," says the monarch. Why not design and celebrate it as something special and unique, not lumping it in with something that has been going on for years?

RuPaul's Drag Race, a drag competition that was originally broadcast on television, opened auditions for the show's fourth season in May 2011, and Wilcots performed on a dare. His audition was accepted, and he was cast for the role; production began later this year. On January 30, 2012, the fourth season debuted. In the 11th episode, which aired on April 9, 2012, he ended fourth in the tournament and was barred. Miss Congeniality was voted Miss Congeniality by viewers, who were crowned in the season finale. Royale was crowned king "plus-size" in a competition. He faced twelve other queens, including Sharon Needles, Phi Phi O'Hara, Willam Belli, Willam Belli, and Cher impersonator Chad Michaels.

Royale made it into the top four, alongside Needles, Michaels, and O'Hara, and she's won two challenges along the way, including when she appeared in "Queens Behind Bars," a mock sitcom. Entertainment Weekly called the removal "shocking" that Royale was barred from the competition. "You've changed my life for the rest of my life forever," Royale said when he was shot. Drag has forever changed the face of drag. I love you and admire you so much, and thank you for revealing something special in me. "Thank you" says the narrator. Wynonna Judd and Rose McGowan were among the guest judges; McGowan's words brought tears to McGowan's eyes.

Sharon Needles took home the crown for season 4. It was revealed that royale would appear on RuPaul's Drag U, which aired later this year. Royale was crowned Miss Congeniality of season 4 after winning a public fan vote.

Royale went on tour around the country after RuPaul's Drag Race, appearing at a number of venues. Royale had to postponed tour dates in order to appear on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars to appear in the film.

For All Stars, Royale competed against Chad Michaels, Raven, Jujubee, Shannel, Alexis Mateo, Yara Sofia, Manila, Manila, Philippines, Tammie Brown, Pandora Boxx, and Mimi Imfurst. The queens were paired together for the competition, which marked a departure from the majority of RuPaul competitions, where everyone competed alone. Royale and Luzon decided to work together, and the team won the first challenge of the season.

Luzon and Jujubee took on each of their teams on the third episode of the season after not doing well with the street-punking competition. Jujubee was paired with Raven. In the end, Royale and Luzon were sent home. "Manila and Latrice, my brainy and brave queens," RuPaul told them during their dismissal. I think I'm going to miss you the most. Now, sashay away."

For its third and final season, Royale appeared in RuPaul's Drag U for its third and final seasons in 2012. JuJubee, Manila Luzon, Raja, Raven, Shannel, Alexis Mateo, Mariah, Chad Michaels, Morgan McMichaels, Delta Work, and Sharon Needles were among the other "professors" listed.

Royale was unveiled as a cast member of All Stars 4, joining Manila Luzon for their second All Stars appearance; the pair is the first Drag Race alumni to compete on two All Stars seasons. Following Shangela Laquifa Wadley, they are now the second and third contestants to compete on three separate seasons of the show (excluding specials). Royale was originally dismissed fourth, and Mo Heart sent home by Mo Heart, but she was brought back to action in the LalapaRuza story. She won episode seven and banned Valentina from the competition after she was evicted. She was saved from elimination by Naomi Smalls in the subsequent episode. In episode nine, Royale was evicted by Trinity the Tuck, ultimately placing fifth overall.

Royale of the Drag Race television special RuPaul's Drag Race Holi-Spectacular took place in December 2018.

Royale's debut single "Weight" was released in January 2014, and Logo TV endorsed her. In March of this year, a remix EP was released. Royale was introduced and then performed with Jennifer Hudson at the CBS Fashion Rocks charity fundraiser event later this year. Hudson said, "Gave me life" when working with Royales.

Royale is a member of the Royal Bar in South Beach, Florida, where she works at the Palace Bar as of 2014. "I love this place not because I work here but because it is the Ultimate Experience," the Royale said of being on the beach. The Drag Shows are magical, with beautiful people, Great Food/Drinks, and the Drag Shows.

In 2016, Royale appeared alongside Peaches Christ and RuPaul's Drag Race alum Willam in Mister Act, an off-Broadway parody of the film Sister Act.

Royale's EP "Latrice Royale Live in the Studio" was released in March 2016. Royale performed her Shirley Horn-inspired act in cities around Canada and the United States in 2018 and 2019.

A panel of judges from New York magazine named Royale tenth on their list of "the most influential drag queens in America" in June 2019, a list of 100 former RuPaul's Drag Race champions.

Latrice Royale will headline the Life Is Beautiful Music & Art Festival comedy lineup in September 2022.
