PRINCE William proved that he is a fully-fledged Swiftie after he danced the night away at a Taylor Swift concert last Friday.
The future King celebrated his 42nd birthday at the concert in Wembley Stadium alongside his two eldest children, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, nine.
Together, they were seen having a fabulous time as they danced to Taylor Swift’s famous tune Shake It Off.
And not only were the royals in a posh box, but it turns out that the family were also treated to a 25-minute meet-and-greet too.
In addition to this, it’s been reported that William shared a special moment with Charlotte, and had a secret tactic to hide from the crowds.
On Saturday, the official social media channels for the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a photo of the incredible moment William, George and Charlotte met the All Too Well singer just 25 minutes before she stepped on stage.
But an insider told HELLO! that the Wales’ arrival didn’t quite go to plan as they ended up running a little behind schedule.
The source revealed: “They had a nightmare getting in, they were running really late but they had planned to get there earlier so they could have the meet and greet with Taylor beforehand because they knew they wanted to leave early.
“They only had 25 minutes to spare so had a quick meet and greet and then went up to their box before the show, and there was a bit of stress and panic about that because it was taking too long.”
Taylor was clearly delighted to meet the royals’, as she too shared a photo on her own social media account, posing with the British royals and her adoring boyfriend and US sports star Travis Kelce.
Referencing William’s birthday, Taylor captioned the image: “Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start.”
But despite it being Williams’ birthday, it turns out that the evening was truly all about his children.
The source explained that throughout the night, the dad-of-three tried to keep a low profile to allow his children to enjoy the show.
They added: “Most of the time he and the kids were further back so they didn’t draw too much attention, but there were moments where they were at the front so a lot of swapping was happening.”
In videos circulating online, William was seen busting out moves while Charlotte waved her hands in the air rocking a light-up bracelet.
Charlotte wore a glittering pinkdress, which is strikingly similar in style to one of the Princess of Wales’ most iconic dresses, which she wore back in 2011, for the ARK Gala dinner.
The youngster wore the rose gold, almost blush pink frock, from John Lewis, which has since sold out, and had her hair in braids.
The insider also recognised a special moment between William and Charlotte, whereby the pair engaged in a heartfelt singalong.
The source continued: “There was one sweet moment where William and Charlotte were sat next to each other at the front and you could tell they were having a little sing-song together which was cute.”

Alongside the Wales clan were William’s cousins, Mike and ZaraTindall.
The Tindalls were at the gig with their two gorgeous daughters Mia, ten, and Lena, five, and were accompanied by their friend Natalie Pinkham.
As the concert came to a close, the source revealed that the royals made an early exit, leaving ten minutes before the end of the show to stay hidden from eager Swifties.
The source concluded: “They left around ten minutes before the end to miss the crowds. It was buzzing in their box, everyone was having such a brilliant time for Prince William’s birthday!”
Kate Middleton's sweet snap for William's birthday
PRINCESS Kate shared a sweet snap of Prince William with their children to mark his 42nd birthday.
The royal, 42, posted a never-before-seen picture of Wills and their adorable little trio on a beach outing.
The fun action shot shows Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and Prince George holding hands as they leap from a sand dune.
Kate wrote a heartwarming message alongside the snap, which she took herself, it read: “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much! Cx”
It was uploaded on The Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Instagram account.
It appears to be from a beach in Norfolk, where the family have their country home.
The Princess shared a heart-warming picture of William with the kids at a similar setting on Father’s Day.
Prince Louis, William’s youngest child, didn’t make an appearance at the show, nor did his wife, the Princess of Wales, who is still undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
The Princess made her first public appearance of the year last Saturday when she stepped out at Trooping the Colour.
Prior to this, she released a heartfelt statement detailing her journey with her treatment so far and explained that she “has good days and bad days.”

Princess Kate's Emotional Statement
In a post shared to the family's Instagram account, Kate shared a personal message on her road to recovery and her plans to attend the King's Birthday Parade.
This was her first public appearance following the cancer diagnosis, and her abdominal surgery in January.
“I have been blown away by all the kind messages of support and encouragement over the last couple of months.
“It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times.
“I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days.
“On those bad days you feel weak, tired and you have to give in to
your body resting.
“But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well.”
