News of Prince William and Taylor Swift's chance encounter at “The Eras Tour” concert in London on Friday sparked a social media buzz. The first in line to the British throne and Taylor Swift posed for a selfie backstage with their two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. The photo was shared to Swift's Instagram account on Saturday and has since garnered more than 8.8 million likes.
Like the rest of his family, Prince William has shared plenty of candid moments with some of the world's biggest celebrities. In fact, he's met Prince Swift before: In 2013, Swift and Prince William performed “Livin' on a Prayer” alongside Jon Bon Jovi at a Centrepoint charity event at Kensington Palace.
Over the years, Prince William has been photographed with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Tom Cruise, LeBron James and Harry Styles. Some of the most memorable celebrity-royal encounters include John Travolta dancing with Princess Diana at the White House and Prince Harry and Rihanna attending the epic 50th birthday mega-concert in Barbados.
