AceShowbiz - On Friday, June 21, the Prince of Wales celebrated his 42nd birthday in unforgettable style at Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium, London. The pop sensation marked the occasion by posting a selfie early Saturday morning featuring Prince William and his two eldest children, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 9.
Swift shared the birthday shoutout on Instagram, writing, "Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start 🇬🇧🇺🇸 @princeandprincessofwales."
The snap also notably included her first Instagram photo with her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs' tight end and three-time Super Bowl champion, Travis Kelce.
The couple were first linked last August when Kelce attempted to give Swift a friendship bracelet with his phone number during her concert in Kansas City. They started dating soon after, captivating the interest of both sports and music fans alike.
In addition to the main event, The Prince and Princess of Wales' official Instagram account shared a behind-the-scenes photo of the royal family attending the show. The post captioned, "Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour," included both Prince George and Princess Charlotte, but notably excluded Kelce.
The royal trio was spotted dancing fervently to Swift's hit "Shake It Off," capturing the attention of many in attendance. Captured by multiple fan accounts, Prince William was seen enthusiastically grooving to the chorus.
Earlier that day, Buckingham Palace had the military band perform "Shake It Off" during the ceremony for Changing of the Guard, aptly titled "Changing of the Guard (Taylor's Version)." The Royal Family shared a video of the band's performance on social media.
Notably absent from the concert was Princess Kate, who is currently receiving treatment for cancer but recently returned to public life at the "Trooping the Colour" event. She was last seen riding in a carriage with her three children to celebrate King Charles III's birthday on June 8.
To mark the special day, Princess Kate also shared a joyful photo of Prince William jumping on a sandy beach with their three children - Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, 6 - captured in Norfolk, England. "Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much! Cx," the royal account captioned the beach photo.
Beyond the royals, other celebrities attended Swift's concert, including Travis, Jason Kelce, and Kylie Kelce, "Bridgerton" actress Nicola Coughlan, and "Queer Eye" star Jonathan Van Ness, among others.
This remarkable event combines elements of royalty, celebrity, and fandom, making it a memorable spectacle for all in attendance.
