Watch: Prince William shows off dancing skills as he ‘shakes it off’ at Taylor Swift concert

Royal fans have been in a frenzy after Prince William was spotted having the time of his life showing off his dancing skills during Taylor Swift’s first The Eras Tour concert on Friday. The Prince of Wales attended the event with his children Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 9.

Footage has emerged online seemingly showing the future king taking the American singer’s advice to heart as he “shook it off” to the tune of the homonymous song. Princess Charlotte can be seen mimicking her dad right next to him and other children in attendance. William’s cousin Zara Tindall and husband Mike Tindall were also at the concert at Wembley stadium

The royal, wearing a light blue buttoned-down shirt and blazer, could be seen swaying his arms and smiling as he danced. The first of Taylor Swift’s three gigs at Wembley Stadium took place on the day the Prince of Wales celebrated his 42nd birthday. Sharing the clip of the Prince of Wales dancing, The Eras Tour’s official X account commented: “Prince William vibing and dancing along to “Shake It Off” at Night 1 of Taylor Swift’s ‘The Eras Tour’ in London!”

Earlier in the day, Buckingham Palace’s military band performed a rendition of Swift’s Shake It Off during the changing of the guards’ ceremony. The Prince of Wales met the American singer in 2013 and even sang his heart out right next to her and Jon Bon Jovi as they performed Living’ On a Prayer. The singer dragged the royal on stage during a charity event at Kensington Palace hosted by Centrepoint, of which the Prince of Wales is a patron.

Discussing the encounter a decade later, William said: “It’s an annual fundraiser, and I turn up, and Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift are at the event, which nearly knocked me off my feet, as well. “When I sat down to watch Jon Bon Jovi do his performance, I thought, “That’s it. My job is done. I’ll get dinner in a minute, and I might be able to have a chat with some people, and, you know, I’m off-duty a little bit now.” Little did I think what was going to happen next.”

He continued: “I’m sat next to Taylor Swift. She’s on my left. And after Jon does his first song, there’s a pause, and she turns to me. She puts her hand on my arm, looks me in the eye, and says, ‘Come on, William. Let’s go and sing’.

“To this day, I still do not know what came over me. Honestly, even now I’m cringing at what happened next, and I don’t understand why I gave in. “But, frankly, if Taylor Swift looks you in the eye, touches your arm, and says, ‘Come with me…’ I got up like a puppy and went, ‘Yeah, okay, that seems like a great idea. I’ll follow you’.”
