Still a popular news story in the U.S., but anything about royalty always makes me think of how we fought two wars with our cousins across the Atlantic, to not care for this nonsense. It is like a soap opera, but since people seem to love the drama, the latest on Price William is interesting.
Prince William celebrated his 42nd birthday in style by attending a Taylor Swift concert in London with his two oldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The royal trio was part of the enthusiastic crowd at Wembley Stadium for the first night of Swift’s Eras Tour stop in the city.
A snapshot from the evening, which captured Swift posing with the royals, was shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official social media accounts, with a caption thanking the singer for a “great evening.” Swift also posted a selfie with the royals, including her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and added a celebratory note, “Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start.”

The photos were taken ahead of the concert, according to Kensington Palace. Catherine, the Princess of Wales, who is currently undergoing treatment for an unspecified cancer, stayed behind with the couple’s youngest child, Prince Louis. Princess Kate has been keeping a low profile since her diagnosis was announced earlier this year. She made a rare public appearance on June 15 at the Trooping the Colour parade, a ceremony honoring King Charles III’s official birthday. This appearance did not mark a full return to her royal duties, as her future engagements will be scheduled based on her health and medical advice.
To further commemorate Prince William’s birthday, Kensington Palace released a new photograph of him with his three children, taken by Princess Kate in southeast England in May. The photo included a heartfelt message, “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much!” signed “Cx,” a nickname for Princess Kate.
