Prince William was seen busting out his best dance moves at Taylor Swift’s London concert before taking two of his children backstage to meet the singer-songwriter
Taylor Swift was seen smiling as she spent time with Prince William, having previously rejected the chance to work with Meghan Markle.
The Prince of Wales was seen busting some wild dance moves as he watched Taylor’s Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium on Friday night, before then being invited to meet the singer backstage. William also took his two eldest children – Prince George and Princess Charlotte – to chat with Taylor.
The group all beamed as they posed for a selfie, with Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce even making an appearance. The meeting couldn’t be further from what happened when the Duchess of Sussex tried to convince Taylor to appear on her Archetypes podcast with a “personal letter”.

Meghan is believed to have reached out to Taylor to join her on her podcast last year but was rejected by the singer. According to the Telegraph, Meghan wrote a “personal letter” to Taylor, asking her to appear on Archetypes, “but the singer declined, through a representative.”
Archetypes ran for one season on Spotify, with Meghan producing 12 episodes. The podcast had a number of guest star appearances from celebrities such as Serena Williams, Paris Hilton and Jameela Jamil.
However, the show was scrapped from the streaming service when it was announced Meghan and her husband Prince Harry had been axed from Spotify. Following the axe, a top Spotify executive lashed out at Harry and Meghan and labelled them “f****** grifters”.

After leaving Spotify, Meghan joined forced with podcast network Lemonada, which has already distributed the first season of Archetypes. Meghan is also set to launch a new podcast with the company.
The new show is set for release next year. Meghan announced her partnership with Lemonada by releasing a statement earlier this year. She said: “I’m proud to now be able to share that I am joining the brilliant team at Lemonada to continue my love of podcasting.
“Being able to support a female founded company with a roster of thought provoking and highly entertaining podcasts is a fantastic way to kick off 2024. Our plan to re-release Archetypes so that more people can now have access to it, as well as launching a dynamic new podcast are well in the works. I’m so eager to be able to share it soon, and am overjoyed to be joining the Lemonada family.”
