EXCLUSIVE DETAILS: Prince William and kids’ meet with Taylor Swift nearly didn’t happen and how he hid from crowds.

It’s common knowledge that Prince William is a big Aston Villa fan, but on Friday night he confirmed that along with his eldest children, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, nine, he is a fully-fledged Swiftie.

Reports went wild after the future King enjoyed an exciting evening at Wembley Stadium alongside his children on the eve of his 42nd birthday. Together, they were seen dancing the night away to Shake It Off by Taylor Swift, with William’s cousin Zara Tindall as the singer kicked off her Eras tour in London.

The special evening was jam-packed with all things Taylor, kicking off with a meet and greet with the woman herself – not to mention with her sports star beau too – and ended with a Swift exit to avoid the crowds but if one thing is for sure, the Wales trio looked like they had an absolute ball.

On Saturday, the official social media channels for the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a photo of the incredible moment Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte met the All Too Well singer just 25 minutes before she stepped on stage.

An insider told HELLO! that the Wales’ arrival didn’t quite go to plan as they ended up running a little behind schedule. “They had a nightmare getting in, they were running really late but they had planned to get there earlier so they could have the meet and greet with Taylor beforehand because they knew they wanted to leave early.
