Prince William's 'nightmare' moment before meeting Taylor Swift

Prince William almost missed his meet-and-greet with Taylor Swift as he and his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, were running very late for the concert. The three royals attended Taylor's first of three London concerts last Friday and were seen enjoying the concert from a box at the stadium.

A royal insider has revealed the "panic" that set in due to the "nightmare" William and the kids had getting to the concert. Speaking with HELLO!, they said: "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.

The insider also added that William and his children attempted to stay at the back of the box, as they didn't want to draw too much attention to themselves, but the Prince of Wales clearly made an exception for one song - 'Shake It Off.'

The royal was seen dancing enthusiastically to the tune with fans on Twitter sharing their thoughts on his moves.

"He is living his best life," one user wrote.

"Welp I see where Louis gets his dance moves from 😂," another teased.

"He can give Tom Jones a run for his money," a third joked.
