Celebrities who supported Prince William and Princess Kate

Prince William and Princess Kate have garnered support from some high-profile celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce and Tom Cruise.

“I got there early and got to meet Prince William,” Travis said. “He was the coolest guy. It was really cool.”

Jason added: “Prince William was amazing but the highlight was Princess Charlotte. Prince George was amazing too. She was just adorable. I can't describe it… I don't know, maybe it's because I have three daughters now. She was passionate and she was asking questions. That was the most inspiring thing.”

Tom Cruise

Cruise has met members of the royal family on numerous occasions, but this was the first time Prince William and Kate attended a London premiere. Top Gun: Maverick The wedding, set for May 2022, was made symbolic by Cruise's decision to hold the princess's hand.

Social media users commented that Kate had cleverly replaced her clutch bag to stop him from holding her hand again.

But there was clearly no ill will behind the pair, as they rekindled their romance in February when Prince William attended a gala in support of the London Air Ambulance charity.

“I'd also like to take this opportunity to mention my, and our fellow pilot, Tom Cruise. Tom, thank you so much for supporting us tonight,” William said. “And if you don't mind not having to rent a new helicopter for your next flight, Mission ImpossibleThank you.

“We've all seen on screen that, how can I put it, you seem to think differently than we do about 'normal wear and tear.' It's not the kind of thing that just buffs away, that's for sure.”

Shakira

The singer was a member of William's Earthshot Prize council, which selects the climate change prize's winner, until he steps down in 2023.

Needless to say, she had a very positive attitude in the interview. Glamour UK 2021: “It was so inspiring to see Prince William’s passion and genuine determination to make a difference.

“It's really amazing to see how dedicated he and everyone at Earthshot are to making a difference in the world in such a short amount of time,” she said.

“And it's not impossible. It just takes a lot of commitment and determination from a lot of us, and we just need to raise awareness about it.”

Roger Federer

Princess Kate is a big tennis fan and a regular at Wimbledon in her role as patron of the All England Club, which hosts the tournament.

She even got the chance to play with Federer at a Wimbledon event designed to promote the vital role ball boys and girls play in making Grand Slams happen.

In the promotional video, the pair certainly looked to have some good rallies together, with Kate even sending a shot over the eight-time Wimbledon champion's head at one point.

Federer called the shot “amazing.”

Sir David Attenborough

World-renowned naturalists have long-standing relationships with the British royal family, and Prince William is no exception.

Sir David remains a member of the Earthshot Prize Council and praised William for launching the project in a video interview in February 2023.

“That's a brilliant idea. I don't think anyone has thought of it before. What came to your mind?” he asked the Prince.

William responded: “The planet has reached a tipping point and the next 10 years are going to be a decade of really big change. If we don't act in the next 10 years, by 2030 it will be too late.”

“So to me it felt like a really important moment, where the future of humanity really depends on it,” he said.
