Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte were able to meet with the pop icon and snap a photo. “Thank you [Taylor Swift] for a great evening!” the prince wrote on Instagram in a post featuring the picture.
Swift also took to her Instagram with a picture that features her with the royals and her boyfriend Travis Kelce. She wished Prince William a happy birthday. “Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start.”
Although the royal was able to go to the show with his older children, his Kate Middleton and their young son, Prince Louie, stayed home. Middleton is currently going through cancer treatments. She was last seen in public on June 15 during the annual Trooping of Colours event.
A source also told Entertainment Tonight, “Princess Kate is not expected to attend any future Taylor concerts. Her appearance at the King’s Trooping the Colour doesn’t mean she is returning to a full schedule of public engagements yet.”
Sources close to the Princess of Wales revealed attending the event took a toll on her. “The princess has this sort of swan-like quality about her,” royal expert Katie Nicholl explained. “She’s sort of gliding on the surface — but beneath the water, I think often she’s paddling quite frantically. I can only imagine that a huge amount of preparation and time and effort and energy will have gone into Saturday’s appearance.”
Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
Prince William Praised for Attending the Taylor Swift Performance
Meanwhile, a friend of Prince William spoke to The Daily Beast about him attending Taylor Swift’s performance on Friday.
“It’s been an unbelievably difficult year for the entire family,” the friend said. “The children have been amazing, and it was a fantastic illustration of just what a brilliant dad William is to see him there.”
The friend also spoke about the photograph of Prince William jumping off a dune in Norfolk. The picture was used for a Father’s Day Instagram post. “It’s great to see this side of him publicly,” the friend said.
