The attendance of Charles III’s eldest son at this event comes a decade after his performance with Taylor Swift herself at a charity gala. It happened in 2013 at Kensington Palace, where after sitting with her at a gala, the then Duke of Cambridge was encouraged to go on stage to sing a version of Swift and Bon Jovi. Livin’ on a Prayer. Years later, Prince William recalled the moment in a podcast.
“I can’t believe I’m telling this. […] I was sitting next to Taylor Swift. She to my left. And after Jon sang her first song, there was a pause and she turned to me. She put her hand on my arm, looked me in the eyes and said, ‘Come on, Guillermo. “Let’s sing,” said the Prince of Wales. “Still today I don’t know what happened to me. Honestly, even now I feel embarrassed by what happened next and I don’t understand why I gave in. But, frankly, if Taylor Swift looks you in the eyes, she touches your arm and says, ‘Come with me…’. I stood up like a puppy and said, ‘Yeah, okay, that’s a great idea, I’ll follow you.'”
Eleven years later, he is still enchanted by the singer.
