The Prince of Wales’ selfie with Taylor Swift and his two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, has resulted in an unexpected achievement for the Wales’ family!
Not only did they have the opportunity to meet the biggest pop star of the moment, but it seems that many Swifties have now become fans of the royal family after Taylor posted a photo of their backstage encounter.
During Taylor’s three shows at Wembley from Friday, June 21 to Sunday, June 23, the Prince and Princess of Wales’s official Instagram account gained 201,967 new followers, according to Viralyft. The post garnered 2.8 million likes within just two days, while Taylor’s photo of the meeting received an astonishing 9.2 million likes. Amazing!
Posting a photo of William, George, and Charlotte meeting Taylor on the royals’ official Instagram account, the caption read: “Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErasTour.” Meanwhile, Taylor wrote: “Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start.”
Speaking about the huge boost in followers, director of Viralyft Thomas Moore said: “Prince William’s presence at the Taylor Swift concert with his children has generated widespread media coverage and social media buzz. The concert, attended by thousands of fans, provided a perfect backdrop for the royals to connect with a younger, more diverse audience.
“Their engagement in such a popular event demonstrates their modern approach and relatability, resonating with the public and boosting their social media following significantly.”
Chatting on their podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Jason said: “I gotta say, Prince William was fantastic, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte. Prince George was great too. She was so [expletive] adorable. Like, I cannot.”
Travis added: “She was, she was a superstar. They were an absolute delight to meet. Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to, like, bow to them, curtsy, just be an American idiot and shake their hand… We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the pond.”
He joked to his brother: “I’ve never seen you give someone that much respect. You put your beer, like, 10 feet away from you.”
