Prince William Celebrates Birthday with His Children at Taylor Swift’s London Concert

The concert doubled as a birthday celebration for Prince William, who turned 42 that day.

Princess Kate was not reported to make the outing with her family. The Princess of Wales, 42, has remained largely out of the public eye in recent months as she continues herHowever, the event did not signal a return to public life, with future engagements depending on when she feels able and under the guidance of her medical team.

Prince William has previously connected with Swift — in fact, he’s put on a little performance with her! Back in 2013, the royal was led to the stage by Swift during a Centrepoint charity event at Kensington Palace to join Jon Bon Jovi for a rendition of “Livin’ on a Prayer.’ ” The candid moment was described by William’s aides at the time as completely “off the cuff.”

Eight years later, Prince William recalled how the memorable moment came to be on an episode”So, around about — it must be nearly 10 years ago now — I can’t believe I’m actually telling this story,” Prince William started. “I went to a charity fundraising gala for Centrepoint, which is a young homeless charity that I am very fond of and have supported for many years. It’s an annual fundraiser, and I turn up, and Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift are at the event, which nearly knocked me off my feet as well.””When I sat down to watch Jon Bon Jovi do his performance, I thought, ‘That’s it. My job is done.

I’ll get a dinner in a minute, and I might be able to have a chat to some people, and, you know, I’m off-duty a little bit now.’ Little did I think what was going to happen next,” he continued. “I’m sat next to Taylor Swift. She’s on my left. And after Jon does his first song, there’s a pause and she turns to me. She puts her hand on my arm, looks me in the eye, and says, ‘Come on, William. Let’s go and sing.’ “
