LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: During the first night of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stop in London on Friday, June 21, the Prince of Wales, William, 42, was seen dancing to Taylor Swift's song 'Shake It Off', as captured in fan-recorded TikTok footage from the concert.

In the video, William can be seen enjoying himself, dancing in the stands to a track from Swift's 1989 album. He is dressed in a blue outfit.

As William celebrated his birthday, Royal reporter Roya Nikkhah shared the occasion on X, tweeting, “Nothing says happy 42nd birthday quite like taking the kids to see a @taylorswift13 #ErasTour gig. Prince William is celebrating his birthday tonight at @wembleystadium with his children.”

"Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start 🇬🇧🇺🇸🤝," the singer captioned her post, referencing Prince William's birthday.

Kate Middleton absent from Taylor Swift's concert

While William, George, and Charlotte enjoyed Swift's performance, it's likely that Prince Louis, 6, stayed home with his mother, Kate Middleton.

For those who are not aware, Kate has largely stayed out of the public eye in recent months as she continues her cancer treatment.

However, she recently made a special appearance on June 15 at Trooping the Colour, the annual celebration of King Charles' birthday, marking her first public outing with the royals since Christmas.

Earlier on June 21, Swift was welcomed to London by the royal guard, who played 'Shake It Off' in front of Buckingham Palace.
