- Latrice Royale, known for her vibrant personality and empowering presence on "RuPaul's Drag Race," has expanded her impact by joining the cast of HBO's "We're Here." In this reality series, Latrice and fellow drag queens travel to small towns, staging drag shows to bring joy and raise awareness about LGBTQ+ issues. Her talent, advocacy, and charisma continue to make her an iconic figure in drag culture. In today's episode, Latrice invited me to her home in Florida to sit down and get into it all with her.

I've met Latrice Royale when she came to Hawaiia and was a guest speaker at my friends university class. She was the most gracious humble and sweetest person I've ever met and she deserves all the good that's happening to her today.
P¹❤❤(
Why would anyone send Latrice any hate? She radiates nothing but positive energy.
Edit or not - she came across a bit entitled on All Stars 4 - which in my opinion she did. Buttttt, personally love the b-tch and would never write her off because of it - cuz not everyone is perfect all the time. That being said, the fanbase can be very toxic to queens that aren’t skinny and white 🥹
You do realize people can project a fake imagine online right?
i saw that all stars. i had no idea Latrice was getting a bad reputation until i watched this.
truthfully people have insane feelings and reasons, i personally do not understand how you can type paragraphs on why xyz person should die and sucks. and these people aren’t like saying “fuck u fag lololol” they’re being descriptive on specifics of they’re hate and what they think a person should do.
i’ll never understand how people can go to random strangers on the internet and go off.
some say it’s jealously which most of it is. but most of it is hatred for unknown reasons
Because we are in America 😳
When two of your favourite people come together it’s a good Sunday ❤
Get those nuts away from my face!
The insistence talking about money was really bothering me. White men can not stand the idea of black folk making money.
Exactly!
Sunday kinda of love 🎶
Yeeesssss!!!😊
Latrice was kind to me when I was emotionally distressed and drunk and trying to tip her at the bar and some twinks were calling me fat. I wasn't being rude or extra but I think she could tell I just needed 2 seconds in her ear. Either way it meant the world. My mom and sister met her at pride the summer after her season also and we were so excited to see her and got pics with her. My mom still speaks about her to this day. Big part of my mom accepting me more was loving Latrice on drag race. ❤️
What a great memory.
this is beautiful
I saw Latrice perform her one woman show in Ptown and it was FABULOUS.
Ahh Ptown yesss
Me too, I live in Bend but drove 3 hours to see her in pdx😊❤
I've had the pleasure of seeing Latrice performing twice in Glasgow, Scotland and got to sit and chat with her, she is an absolute diamond. Thank you for this interview ❤

Latrice is such a hard worker and an amazingly talented performer.
Matt has become one of my “go-to’s for storytelling in our community, and what a special moment to spend with such an amazing human being. I LOVE Latrice! I’m so happy she will be back on our screens on “We’re Here”!
Latrice is one of the many Queens of the early seasons that built the foundation for what we see on Drag race today. Pay her what she’s worth henny!!!! ❤
We love love love Latrice!! Shes such a classy lady ❤❤❤
I absolutely adore this experience. I am so grateful for the opportunity to meet her when I appeared as a guest on Drag Race. She is incredibly sweet and kind, and I feel truly fortunate to have met her for a short period of time xoxx piyah m.
Love you Piyah 💕
Piyah! I just rewatched your older music videos yesterday! Everyone is wondering how you are doll!
Such a nice surprise to see you here!
We LOVE you Piyah!!! ❤️
They dont make them like the OG's anymore ❤️
That part!
Truly
Latrice is THAT QUEEN. She is one of the best queens EVER. ❤❤❤
Happy birthday Latrice Royale 🎊 🎊 💚🎁🤩 #lovelatrice #manymore #beblessed
I met Latrice when she performed in Puerto Vallarta and after the show she took time to sit down and chat with me. She is the sweetest and has such a kind heart!
I saw Latrice and her husband perform in a P'town show. My friends and I got a picture afterwards. Very humble, talented and gracious performer.
LOVE Latrice, She’s a GEM 💎💎💎
I met Mother Latrice Royale a month after appeared on RPDR in Cleveland Ohio. I have horrible arthritis and my girlfriend found me a chair that I could sit on so I could be comfortable. After the show she knew that I wanted to meet her and she actually went into their dressing room and asked her if she could come to our table for a few minutes. She came and was very gracious, polite, and kind. That’s something that I will always take with me when I think of her. Despite the negative things that people said, it definitely showed their ignorance. Happy belated birthday Queen.
Miss Latrice is so beautiful, both in and out of drag ♥︎♥︎
Latrice Royale taught me three things: "Pick yourself back up, look sickening, and make them EAT IT!" Forever love to Latrice!
Just know how much we love you Latrice!! I loved you from day one.
Latrice has ALWAYS been one of my top favorite entertainers. I just LUUUV her energy SO MUCH! Happy Birthday sis!!! 👑
I love Latrice so much!!!! She taught me how to spin a flag and a rifle in Miami!!! She is such a light & had inspired so many of us❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love Latrice so much! 💜
Latrice is my all time favorite Drag Race queen!!! I love you Latrice. Thanks so much for this interview Matt.
Latrice is someone that inspires me and has for a long time now. I’m so happy to see this interview! Seeing her live is also truly one of the most incredible experiences. I got to see her at a Christmas show where she blew me a kiss up in the balcony. 😂 She’s just really and truly legendary in every way.
The light in him is so bright and beautiful. ❤
Latrice royale is a light! I met her last year after being a rpdr fan since season 1. She’s really who she says she is her aura is so warm and welcoming. A class act.💛
I had the honor of performing with LaTrice in Knoxville, TN for my bar's anniversary party. We had a ball. She couldn't have been nicer, more professional and she turned that stage out. She is also a hoot backstage. Great memories. KISSES, FROM KTOWN.
When I think of all the girls that add to the joy in my life, Latrice is at the top of that list. Rupaul created this world of dragrace that gave us our own place to be. Thank you Ru. ❤❤
RPDR hasn't been the same in years.. yes there are still great Queens but it was the first few seasons where the true royalty existed. Latrice, Raven, Juju, BDR, Chad, Raja, Alyssa, Shannell...
All these new Queens can't hold a candle.
It's a little bit of diminishing returns because drag is a very niche art form.
Naturally you're going to have a lot of the best in the game on the world's biggest platform for the art towards the very beginning.
@dante6985 well... not always. Jinkx came later on. Some Queens are yet to be discovered. Tyra shouldn't have won over Raven btw lol.
@@jartober That's exactly what I mean though. Jinkx was on in the early years of the show (when it aired on LOGO) and won in the already enormously talented cast of season 5.
@dante6985 that wasn't so early.. but I guess so.
@@jartober Do you realize how pedantic you're being? Seriously. You pick an argument when I'm basically agreeing with you, then say "oh Jinkx is a late entry" and list a season 4 person (Chad) in your list of "early" contestants. When we're on a video about a Season 4 contestant, btw.
I'm sorry I didn't know your criteria of "only S1-S4 count as early contestants".
Sorry I said anything.
I’ve loved you from the beginning, and I love you forever. Latrice is real, and I admire everything about her.❤
I got to smoke a joint with Latrice after the Hater’s Roast years ago. It was super cold out so she hugged and held me to warm me up. She is SUCH a sweetheart and I still feel so blessed to have met such a kind person!
Good one!😂😂😂😂😂
Latrice is the real deal….love your channel…you are gonna go far interviewing people…you make people feel so calm and just chat….great work!!!
Latrice’s skin is glowing!
I love Latrice, She is so inspiring, so humble, so loving. This is a great interview!
I LOVE Latrice, EVERY interview with her shows how talent, open , humble, and beautiful she is, To pull yourself out of prison to the top of her career. Hard work and belief in yourself. EVERY SUCCESS to you!!!
Her elimination on Season 4 will still be one of the most saddest eliminations, but I personally don't think her edit on All Stars 4 was the worst, but it wasn't the best.
I had the pleasure of meeting Latrice years ago in Florida. One of our friends was having a low key bowling birthday party at a local alley. I did not know that Latrice was coming, and I can not express enough how delightful she was....she was incredibly down to earth and an absolute love bug. I love your channel. xxoo
Love this interview! Latrice is a legend and one of the most genuine queens. I love that she made her own management company.
I’ve never been this early in my life, I love her DOWNNNN
Latrice is by far my favorite queen to come out of RPDR! And Matt, you are probably my favorite UA-cam channel! What a combo. What I love about Latrice is that grown carriage and attitude shines through. Yes, very funny and entertaining, but also has integrity and grace and kindness and real intelligence. These are qualities that I want to tune in to over and over again! I am not, and have never been (and I am very much grown myself!), into caustic, cutting queens that care not how they impact others. I love that you continue to tell the stories of our vast and diverse queer communities in a way that no others do! Thank you both, and a big happy birthday to Latrice!
I’ve been watching her since 12 I’m 27 now Latrice will forever be the ultimate queen such a decorated celebrated queen ROYALE FOR SURE !
I wish this was a longer video. I adore Latrice.
I am a fan of both of you. Another great interview Matt, and Latrice, as always, you deliver intelligence, insight and kindness. Thanks for this fantastic clip.
I have been lucky enough to meet Latrice, I love her so much.
Latrice seems like the kindest person. Absolutely love him
What an absolute pleasure to watch this. Latrice is an energy and an icon at this point.
This was a very good interview with Latrice 👍🏿. I was intrigued listening about her past and how she overcame adversities to be on top today. This is something to celebrate and to encourage others who feel there isn’t hope to never give up and keep pushing forward and most of all- know your worth and never let anyone tell you otherwise. bravo 👏🏿
"The only person that can kill my career is me". I love it!!
Latrice is truly inspiring!
I love the reminder that we are responsible for ourselves.
Thanks Matt!
You were so excited at the end . Light was shining from you.💜
I had the pleasure of seeing Latrice MF Royale and meeting her in person and she is a true definition of CLASS. Will always give her her flowers 💐
❤❤❤❤love from New Zealand 🇳🇿🫶🏻 her Family Feud episode is ICONIC, FOREVER COMEDY
A legend in the industry, and adored by all. I’ve never heard anyone in the drag community have a single bad word to say about Latrice. Thank you for this lovely interview.
I met Latrice in Austin, TX when she was here for a gig with some other queens. I had a broken leg and me and my friend scooted up to her when she was leaving the stage with everyone else. She REACHED OUT and held our hands as we thanked her for coming and she THANKED US. Just took that extra moment to be sweet and I’ll never forget how warm and beautiful she was in that moment
Iconic guest + amazing interview skills = new subscriber 👏🏼 thku
The world needs more sweet souls like you Matt Cullen! ❤❤ Another exceptional video. Thank you so much for bringing these stories to the masses!
Yet another great interview, Matt. Latrice is a one-of-a-kind genuine trailblazer 💖 Queen of consistency. Happy belated, Queen! 👑
I could use the biggest Latrice hug right now, love both of you so so much! 🤟🏽😘❤️💕🧿
Absolutely loved this episode and am so grateful to see the LEGEND LATRICE ♥️♥️ on your channel. Huge congrats!!
Love this interview as usual!! Latrice is amazing!!
I have the highest respect for Latrice. What a treasure of a human!
Latrice is a true artist and professional
This entire interview is like a warm hug from a dear friend. Happy birthday Latrice!
I always wanted to meet Latrice. This popped up on my UA-cam fee; very good interview.
Latrice is a legend. When I lived in WPB we would drive to FLL to see her perform. Long before drag race. I remember when she walked in on the show I screamed and fell off my chair from pure excitement
Latrice is amazing. Thanks for interviewing her. I am a fan!
Another FANTASTIC interview! The work that you do for our community, Matt, is so powerful. These interviews should be archived and preserved for future generations. 🌈 ❤
Beautiful Interview from start to finish ❤
This was so heartwarming. You can tell it was genuine a d good energy in the room
Latrice is undeniably thee genuine article … living, breathing legend who is owed all the flowers. Respect on her name, always❤❤❤
She’s Large and In Charge, Chunky yet funky! Thankful this Diva was part of the best season of RDR. ❤ He still makes me smile with his vigor and refusal to be beaten down.
And I’m a new fan of you sir, Matt. A lot of our brethren can be Barbara instead of Ellen when they interview our celebs. You were respectful and let him talk. ❤
🌷Happy 🌷Birthday 🌷Tim🌷 “You have to make it happen “ Latrice Royale ♥️
Miss Latrice you are the original boss girl on Drag race and Matt thank you for another wonderful insightful interview.
I RAN HERE
Love you for that ❤️
@@OurQueerLife and you replied! today's a good day!
Not me crying like a baby, jealous that you got to hug Latrice Royale. Awesome interview. 😊❤
Latrice came to my little college city’s gay bar in Morgantown and was an absolute sweetheart and super entertaining. It was such a treat and surprise getting to see her.
We don’t get many ru girls around here so it was kind of amazing to see the crowd she draws even years after her season (prior to All Stars).
That bar was such a touchstone for me
She’s such a warm heart and now a true icon…And yes…She’s very real…You have to love such a real terrific person
Loving the interviews Matt, keep them coming! You and Maddy are the go-to drag race reporters these days!
Definitely! I feel the same way, after Aja’s interview from both creators I knew I had to keep notifications on for them
Man, Latrice is THE ONE! 🤩
Incredible video as always Matt! You really are doing something so important. 🥰
52 what !! Noo way like seriously that skin is flawless
Latrice is going to be GREAT on that show! She has the perfect personality for it.
Latrice's face at 6:44. I thought she was going to show him the door. Lol! 😂
Lattice is one of my favorite drag queens 👑 of all times, I would love ❤ to see her win a ALL STAR ⭐ season hands down, 🎉🎉
all hail queen lattice
Happy birthday Latrice. Great content
Loved this interview from beginning to end! Could of been a full hour and I would of still wanted more! Thanks for interviewing such a beautiful soul!
This is one of my favorite episodes you’ve done yet. I just wanna give both of yall big hugs! 🫶🏼💚🌈
What a beautiful soul. This was such a great interview. The last few minutes brought tears to my eyes. Latrice is so inspiring.
This was such a freer conversation - Latrice is amazing and her story is an inspiration in that you can always achieve your goals - happy birthday to her ❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛
So happy for Latrice joining the cast of “We’re Here”. Truly legendary!
I loved this episode. Latrice makes so much sense! Know your worth! Words to live by! Thank you @LatriceRoyal ❤
Happy Belated Birthday 🎂🎊🎈🍾🎉🎊🎈🍾 Latrice Royale may God bless u with many more enjoy u deserve it❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've loved Latrice since the first time I saw her on Drag Race. Just her sense of humor and laugh appealed to me instantly. Now through this interview I've learned what depth there is is behind that tremendous exterior ❤
As usual, I loved this interview with Latrice. I've always loved her, and this interview was just confirmation of why I love her, which is her realness untainted by the glits and the glam. Thanks, Matt! 🇿🇦
Great interview, Matt. Your work gets better and better. Excellent production value, terrific editing, easy and interesting conversation. Well done. Latrice is a treasure.
Latrice Royale is THE deal. She is living herstory, an ICON in her own right!
Latrice should be a consultant for how the new queens need to structure their careers post-drag race. Revive Drag U. She can educate the youths.
SHE IS MY #1 QUEEN!! In Australia we DO NOT GET THE TEA 😞
I've been wondering where she is. Thank you so much 🎉❤🎉
Matt, your kindness and warmth just radiates through the screen in every single episode, and it is such an inspiration. Thank you for what you do and for how you connect with folks. The world needs your light 💗
Miss Latrice set soar and flew...she's still flying high and I pray that she'll continue to impress us and keep in her high altitudeness!!!
