Prince William ‘dad dancing’ at Taylor Swift concert is ‘fantastic sign’ for Kate, says royal expert

THE Eras tour has made ‘Swifties’ of millions of Brits, including Prince William.
Royal expert Phil Dampier said William’s “dad dancing” at Wembley at Taylor Swift’s Friday’s show reveals the royal is “relaxed” and “so much happier” following Kate Middleton’s illness.
The Prince of Wales took Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, nine, to the show, alongside fellow royals Zara and Mike Tindall to celebrate his 42nd birthday.
Phil told Fabulous: “It was fantastic to see Prince William enjoying himself at Wembley the other night.
He added: “The fact that he was so relaxed and so enjoying himself was the thing that really struck me, and he obviously didn't mind that he was being filmed.
“He must have known that people would pick up on it.
“Everyone's got a mobile phone these days, and they were filming him.
“I think the main thing it tells us is that for him to be that relaxed, and that happy, he must be so much happier that Kate is well on the road to recovery.”
While Kate wasn’t in attendance at Taylor Swift, she did celebrate Trooping the Colour earlier this month.
Princess Kate, 42, delighted royal fans by appearing on the Buckingham Palace balcony alongside the King, Queen, Prince William and her children.

Prince William was dancing like nobody is watching and should be admired. 🇦🇺🦘

[@bettycogswell9851]

So good to see William enjoying himself.

[@conniegalati3926]

What’s more attractive than a man fully enjoying himself, letting it all go? He’s had a full year of pure awful on every level! Makes me love and admire him even more! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@DAISYROSE22]

I agree. A man enjoying himself is very attractive. Prince William is "good at being a man." He provides for his family and he protects them.

[@BzyBLady4U]

Prince William has it all going in the right direction...and considering all the family health challenges with the King and Princess Catherine...and concern for the children's support and returning to a more normal life, he is doing fantastically!

[@janetclaireSays]

It was so nice to see Prince William let loose like that. He needed it and deserved it and I'm sure his children loved seeing their dad so relaxed and having fun. It must be very reassuring for them. Also, we now know who taught Prince Louis to dance! 😂

[@Chryslers1]

His children would have loved seeing their dad dancing. Why wouldn't they? They're going through so much, it's good therapy to have some fun. Catherine would've loved to see that.

[@chancemathews7057]

Because all kids get embarrassed by their parents sometimes, not saying they were, but it’s a common phenomenon.

[@beth3541]

Yep but not on this occasion. There are enough photos and videos showing them all with no sign of embarrassment.​@chancemathews7057

[@TheCJTok]

When I was going through radiation for my cancer, my children were still young and they needed to see me cut loose because if they see that, they know it’s going to be okay.

Taylor Swift certainly got great pictures with Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte and they were all so excited and happy, very nice to see!

[@pattylynch3484]

After the last few months (almost a year) of constant worry, and "chinning up," being brave for Mom and Ead, these kids deserved this great fun day out with Dad!!!

[@user-ou3zg2ll9w]

Great to see Prince William and his children at the Swifty concert 🎉🎉❤

[@ceciliaM17256]

Little Louis dances just like his daddy which tells me William dances at home a lot. Which creates a pleasant and fun atmosphere. Great dad!

[@patriciasim2289]

Yes, a good husband and father and a good son! Hats off to William!!

[@loriru3135]

Prince William made people all over the world happy. His joy was infectious. Dad dancing? 😤It’s called “dance like no one is watching”. Prince William took a page out of Post Malone’s book. A person can’t get much cooler than THAT! We also love Mike & Zara. Thank you Prince William!

He needed this. So glad they had a great time. Glad lil Louie stayed home. He’s just to little. Princess Charlotte and Prince George looked great. Taylor Swift is one concert they will never forget. Love the whole family.

[@gillianmay988]

Love Prince William and his family I agree he must feel happy with Catherine illness the way she’s improving lovely family x

[@sharonseed]

It's so lovely to see our dashing Prince William with his gorgeous children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, enjoying themselves at the Taylor Swift concert. The photo of our Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Taylor Swift was wonderful, it was also nice of Taylor Swift to send our beautiful English Rose Catherine, the Princess of Wales, a personal message.❤ 🌹

Charlotte was on the right lower corner dancing!

[@mysteryworld8170]

God Bless Prince William, Princess Catherine and their three children.

[@angelhelen84]

William has been through it, the family stoicism can sometimes give the impression nothing fazes them but I imagine he has been incredibly worried.

[@debbieemes5580]

It is so nice to see him letting go and a great time with his children. God bless them.❤

[@atbp828]

It's his BIRTHDAY!🎉 Thanks God that was a relief seeing him enjoying himself and happy while thinking about Kate's condition. That's good sign. After 6 months of the Prince's stressful months while his father and wife were undergoing cancer treatments. HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCE WILLIAM. Glad to see you so happy on your birthday.🎉❤

[@Dkb522]

I agree, William has had so much to deal with. That poor man. It was wonderful to see him footloose and having a great time at TS!

[@D.A.E.504]

IT WAS GREAT TO SEE Prince William and the children out having fun they needed it for sure made your heart filled with joy

[@pattylynch3484]

It's not that his dancing is bad... He's pretty good at behaving like us (once in a while)!!!

[@heatherlawson-eg3od]

Prince William deserves some relaxation.

[@minik746]

HRH Prince William and Catherine Princess of Wales are decent, classy people. It was pure joy to see William and his children on this picture enjoying themselves, and at Taylor Swift's concert. Long live and a joyful one to this awesome royal family !

[@geriaa6616]

I 😍 that dune photo!!!

[@valeriejohnson8771]

What is Dad dancing anyway? He was dancing with the rhythm of the music, which was very good. So good to see him nit hold back, and be stiff and formal in that lively environment. What a good lesson for his young kids as well. Good on him!

[@lilij1915]

Dad dancing means it looks a bit silly. But we love it 🙌

[@calihello3726]

That is NOT Dad dancing! He's got some moves and it was so great to see him having fun. And Charlotte was literally right there dancing too next to Zara's daughter and Zara is right next to William dancing and taking video. Open your eyes.

[@HLDCO]

Catherine. Not "Kate". You are referring to the future queen of England, not your drinking buddy. Show some respect.

[@lissiaa1869]

Kate

[@georgialee3432]

I am glad he just had a good time. Can’t people let it just be a good time. We don’t have to judge is dancing or anything. He was having a good time and he deserves it with his family.

[@CatFluff-pm6qr]

I think he had great moves👍👍👍

[@mlk27743]

George & Charlotte would have gotten a giggle at dad's dancing - William looked like he was having a BALL!!!! his moves reminded me of myself when I listen to my 80's music. Relaxed, don't give a toss if people see me as did William. Good for him & the kids. They deserve a bit of time to relax after the last 6 months.

[@Momster541]

Loved this! If you look close enough you can see Charlotte dancing and singing too.

[@sciencewins8798]

God bless Prince William and his family ❤❤❤

[@karentucker3460]

I would bet the house William has danced at home many times with his kids, it was probably verrrrry normal to them and the man does have moves. imo

[@kathleenrogers10]

Adorable!

[@bunnie12345]

What a nice piece .

[@nightowl5395]

Yes, I always like listening to Phil Dampier reporting on the Royals...he has a nice demeanour; apparently he has been writing about the Royal Family for over 30 years 👑

[@grammydhicks3566]

It was great to see the three of them enjoying themselves it made me smile and many others they deserved a night out together.

[@deariepula8538]

Nice to see William relaxed he deserves it for him and his children. ❤

[@DAISYROSE22]

Git it, Prince William, git it, boy! Like many of us, "Shake It Off" is probably the only song in her entire catalogue that he knows.

[@user-cy7ou6rp3v]

You go Prince William!!😄Enjoy all you can.

[@fiorenzaattanasio4796]

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL…I LOVED SEEING THEM ALL AT THE CONCERT❤❤🇨🇦

[@marciaclifford7107]

It is important to remember that Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip lived such a long time, that no wonder there were so many people, so many generations on the balcony for so long. Times change. The family members there deserve and want to be there. Wringing hands about the fewer numbers of the royal family does not show the royal family support.

[@jillosler9353]

And that the Queen had 4 children who all created more children, whereas King Charles only has 2 children and one of them walked away and is raising his 2 supposed children with no connection to the Monarchy which only leaves his first born son and his 3 children. Add the cousins who now have careers of their own instead of devoting their lives to the Monarchy like the Dukes of Kent and Gloucester did. But what we do have is total commitment to King and Country.

[@evelynquinn1154]

Your joking, George must play Taylors music @ full volume , & dad saying turn that music down like every other family, so he knows all the lyrics ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@user-ce3op6yl3n]

[@michelegraham9044]

I was so glad to see Prince William able to shake it off with 6 harrowing years especially with the losses & illnesses around him. While stoic and statesman like he HAS had the weight of the world on his shoulders. We should all shake it off from time to time.

Everyone remember - we want Kate to be 100% Remember cancer can return, not having stress helps. time to support them, and keep H/M away somewhere and out of the news. Protect them, and let them help others - evil/envy away from them.
