The playful prince was spotted dancing to the music of the procession, much to the amusement of onlookers. Besides, William's dancing at the Swift concert further cemented his 'cool dad' image. After the show, he took Charlotte and George backstage to meet Swift herself. The pop star even snapped a selfie with the royals and her boyfriend, NFL player Travis Kelce.
"Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start," Swift wrote on Instagram the next day as she shared a picture with the royals, as per Us Weekly. This personal interaction between the royals and the pop star excited many fans. The Prince of Wales has shown his dance moves on other occasions too.

William has also been spotted dancing on royal tours. These moments of William letting loose and enjoying himself are always a hit with the Commonwealth. In 2022, he and Middleton took part in a traditional dance during a visit to Belize. The couple enthusiastically joined in with the local festivities. About a decade earlier, in 2011, William famously demonstrated his 'urban swag dance' during a visit to a homeless charity. He brushed off his shoulders in a hip-hop-style move, much to Middleton's amusement.
