Looks like William took George and Charlotte to see Taylor Swift for his birthday. Looks like Taylor was just as happy to meet them as they were to meet her.

Good for them, to be enjoying themselves after a tough year.

Lavenderandbrown · 22/06/2024 15:38

Travis Kelce is waaayyyy more famous in USA. Many would not recognize William without Catherine at his side but even little toodlers recognize Taylor’s BF Travis and every sport fan surely does. Aren’t these concerts in the evening? Doesn’t William get his evening off?

RocketsMagnificent7 · 22/06/2024 15:39

All the privilege these two children have and you can see this is probably the single greatest moment of Charlotte's life. The sheer joy and excitement in her whole being. It's lovely to see.

George and Charlotte have definitely got William's smile.

I wonder if this indicates William is ready to crack on with some actual work. He has only done 9 engagements so far in June, according to the Court Circular, yet he has the time/energy/fitness to leverage his position as Prince of Wales to get prime tickets to an England football match and now Taylor Swift (so crowds clearly not an issue with Kates treatment and exposure risk). William is next in line to the throne, when will we demand more of him? It's time for him to step up, the King (who is battling cancer at 70+) is doing more than him. Wheeling his cute kids out for a photo op to make us forget his laziness is becoming wearing.

Ah, another person who has no clue about what work the BRF do; but doesn’t like them so will criticise nevertheless 🤷‍♀️

I haven't seen anyone on this thread being unpleasant about the children. Criticism of their father's work ethic (or lack thereof) isn't criticising the children.

😂😂

Bagpuss2022 · 22/06/2024 15:44

I think it’s a lovely post and the smiles are evident I’m sure Catherine would rather be there with them but she can’t.
if anything it’s great to see a human side to the royal family, Charlotte is just as excited as all the other little ones I have seen

RocketsMagnificent7 · 22/06/2024 15:45

Now we can see where Louis gets his moves!

There's another video I've just seen of him dancing with a lady in Belize and he's actually got some rhythm, I was quite surprised.

Good to see what us plebs are paying for. At least they chucked us a photo.
My sister went to the concert- she sat miles away from the stage, and it cost her a reasonable dent in her weekly salary. She had a great time.
Unlike William and his no doubt incredibly spoilt children, she deserved it, as she works incredibly hard. And she paid for it herself.

I'm sure my sister enjoyed her experience more than William did. For him it's another freebie paid for by the taxpayer, one of hundreds he gets in a year because his ancestor William the Conqueror was luckier at the Battle of Hastings than Harold in 1066. For my sister it was a lovely treat.

I also wonder if Taylor Swift really wants to spend time with freeloaders like him. Probably feels like she has to.

Would you say this to a regular person. Or is it just because who he is??

Apolloneuro · 22/06/2024 15:54

British Royalty meeting US Royalty!

I dare say that William and George were probably more starstruck about Travis.

Bloody lovely photos. Love them all.

Apparently Taylor hardly ever posts personal photos on her social media.

But she posted this.

Maybe William said he'd march her off to the Tower if she didn't. But probably not.

He's not a regular person though is he? He doesn't work and he and his whole family are parasites, paid for by the British taxpayer.
I don't wish him or his family harm, but I wish they'd piss off and get a job and actually do something real with their lives. And stop stealing from us, the taxpayer.

isthatmyage · 22/06/2024 15:57

OP absolutely love this ! I was very lucky to be there last night (standing, no Royal box for me !) Taylor Swift was absolutely incredible, the whole non-stop 3 1/2 hours. She is insanely talented. How great to see the royals enjoying it also....only jealous of their journey home #2hourtubequeue 😂😂

I doubt it.

American football does not have a big following in Britain. Most people couldn't name any NFL stars, just as most Americans couldn't name a Premier League star. If he's known here at all, it's mostly as Taylor Swift's boyfriend.

Yeah, I'm not sure it's 'another person'.

I completely understand why Republicans who want the end of the monarchy so want it to seem 'bad value for money' use the court circular to imply that we are not getting value for money based on the events published there. That's a tactic that they are clinging to so I understand when its coming from that angle.

But just in case poster is genuinely concerned - we don't pay William to do anything or nothing - he only gets expenses from the Sovereign Grant which is paid from our yearly taxes when he goes on official engagements. Any money left not spent is kept for the following year, any year where there is an excess left over can lead to a reduction in the Grant for the following year.

We don't pay for a Royal Family - we pay for a Head of State - as our head of state is a monarch, he manages his support team as he feels best works for his reign. If he wants a member of his family to sub in for him he gets them to, if he wants someone to do more or less work, it's down to him.

Right now William has a 'position' - it's not a job in any sense of the regular working world, his position comes with certain responsibilities, and the perk of being able to pick and choose what extra stuff he does. The older he gets and the closer to the top job the more responsibilities he gets and the less freedom and it's a job that lasts until your last breath. Every year is completely scheduled, you know exactly where you will be on November 11, Commonwealth Day, Garter Day, etc etc and what you'll be doing every year until you die.

We are paying for a head of state - one that comes with history, traditions, that uses family members as subs and deputies.

Might not seem like good value for money for some, others disagree.

Oh give yourself the day off. It’s Saturday.

A couple of kids, whose mum’s having chemo met Taylor Swift. How anyone can look at the joy on all their faces and be curmudgeonly I just don’t know.

pleasehelpwi3 · 22/06/2024 15:57

The person who is employed by her and only acts with her approval? How come this person doesn't post other backstage selfies? I'm sure they are taken at pretty much every gig.

Why are some people so desperate to deny the obvious? It's clear Taylor was delighted to meet the Wales family. As were the millions who have 'liked' the photo.

I nearly started a thread about this but I knew the sneering and joyless would be along to spoil it. No need.

Are you saying that William children don’t deserve to have fun, specially now that their mum has cancer, what a miserable person you are, you just need to see Charlotte and how excited she was in that photo and by the way was actually Taylor Swift who is a friend of William who arrange for the tickets

Let’s just ignore the miserable gits and take pleasure in Swiftie Land.

Some people would take a shit on someone’s wedding cake if they could. Just ignore them.

Apolloneuro · 22/06/2024 16:05

I’ll look out for Jason and Travis’s next podcast episode. They’re bound to discuss this!

DelectableMe · 22/06/2024 16:06

"no doubt incredibly spoilt children".
@pleasehelpwi3 how unpleasant. It's not necessary to have a dig at young children like that. You don't know them.

They pay tax too, probably a lot more than you.
