Drag Name Origin

Timothy chose Latrice Royale as his drag name because he knew a girl named Latrice, and Royale sounded like something very delicious and very chocolate. He chose the name so he could enter an amateur drag night contest in the mid 1990's at the infamous Fort Lauderdale club "The Copa". The drag night was run by Tiffany Arieagus, who became her drag mother.

• She is so far the only Miss Congeniality to eliminate another Miss Congeniality (which happened twice).
  • On RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 1, she eliminated Nina Flowers by defeating her teammate (Tammie Brown) in the Lip Sync for your Life and in RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars Season 4 she eliminated Valentina by revealing her lipstick after winning the Lip Sync for your Legacy.
