Prince Williams marked his 42nd birthday by taking his two eldest children to see Taylor Swift perform.

On Friday (June 21), the 34-year-old Grammy-winning star kicked off the London leg of her Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium.

The Prince of Wales was among the 90,000 swifties in attendance, celebrating his special day by dancing the night away with his children Prince George, 10, and nine-year-old Princess Charlotte.

The future king took to Instagram to share a picture commemorating the evening, writing: "Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour."

Many fans were delighted to see the future king celebrate his birthday in 'Style'.

"MISS AMERICANA AND THE BRITISH PRINCE!" one user exclaimed, while another quipped: "Prince William is the Swiftie, he only took Prince George and Princess Charlotte as a cover up!"

A third shared: "Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte are the Swifties we didn’t know we needed, and I am here for it! Just look at their collective unbridled JOY."

The 'Cruel Summer' songstress also posted a picture with the royals and her boyfriend Travis Kelce on her Instagram page.

“Happy Bday M8!” Swift penned under the post. “London shows are off to a splendid start,” she said, accompanying her caption with emojis of the British flag, the American flag, and a diplomatic handshake.

Funnily enough, this is the first official photo of Swift and her NFL beau on either of their social platforms.

"I’m laughing Taylor Swift has just gone Instagram official with Travis Kelce including the British Royal Family," one shocked person pointed out on X, while a second asked: "Did she just hard launch Travis Kelce in a photo with the English royals?"

And this isn't the first time Prince William has connected with Swift. The pair shared the stage with Jon Bon Jovi for a performance of 'Livin' On A Prayer' for a charity event at Kensington Palace in 2013.

The 42-year-old opened up about the memorable moment on an episode of Apple Fitness+'s Time to Walk series.

"I'm sat next to Taylor Swift. She's on my left. And after Jon does his first song, there's a pause and she turns to me. She puts her hand on my arm, looks me in the eye, and says, 'Come on, William. Let's go and sing,'" he said, as cited by PEOPLE.

"To this day, I still do not know what came over me," William continued. "Honestly, even now, I'm cringing at what happened next, and I don't understand why I gave in.

"But, frankly, if Taylor Swift looks you in the eye, touches your arm, and says, 'Come with me…' I got up like a puppy and went, 'Yeah, okay, that seems like a great idea. I'll follow you.'"

The Prince of Wales spoke about the 'I Knew You Were Trouble' musician again at the 2023 Tusk Conservation Awards.

According to Hello! magazine, William brought up Swift during a conversation with Ronnie Wood about The Rolling Stones.

“We were talking about the tour and I said, 'Come on, you've got to come out on tour,' and we were talking about the new album and everything,” Wood said. "William said [he would] if we could get Taylor Swift there."

The guitarist reportedly told the royal that the “Fearless” singer had previously performed with his bandmate Mick Jagger, to which the royal replied, “I’m there then.”

In other news, Princess Catherine released a fun-filled photo of Prince William and the kids for his birthday.
