It may now be clear where Prince Louis gets his moves from, as William’s ‘dancing dad’ at last night’s Taylor Swift concert was like his son’s daring ways at a Jubilee event in 2022.
The Prince of Wales delighted Swifties when he busted some moves during Taylor’s performance of Shake It Off at Wembley last night.
Prince William was accompanied by his children George and Charlotte at the sold-out concert, but his youngest son Louis stayed home with Princess Catherine.
This, however, does not prevent striking similarities from being established between the dance moves of the father and son duo.
Prince Louis was filmed moving his waist with both hands in the air during the Jubilee parade to mark the 70th anniversary of the late Queen Elizabeth II’s succession to the throne.
It may now be clear where Prince Louis gets his moves from, as William’s ‘dancing dad’ at Taylor Swift’s concert last night was just like his son’s sassy ways at a Jubilee event.

The Prince of Wales delighted Swifties when he busted some moves during Taylor’s performance of Shake It Off at Wembley last night.
The prince, then four years old, put on a lively display, pretending to be a lion, arguing with his cousins and even sticking his tongue out at his mother Kate Middleton.
Mike Tindall later said that Louis’s scene-stealing antics at the pageant were due to a sugar high from eating sweets.
‘Louis, he just wanted to have fun. And my two are always naughty, so I’m trying to control it,” the father of three said.
“However, there were a lot of sweets outside, so there was a real sugar rush.”
Footage of William dancing to Shake It Off has been described as very different to Harry’s behavior when he and his wife Meghan Markle attended Beyoncé’s performance at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles last September.
While the Duchess of Sussex seemed to enjoy the show, Harry appeared dejected and often looked at his phone instead of the stage.
Meghan had reportedly attended a Taylor Swift concert at the same Los Angeles stadium the previous month, although no selfie with Swift has emerged.
William’s ‘dad dance’ has drawn comparisons to his brother Prince Harry’s apparent sadness when he attended a Beyoncé concert last September.
The Duke of Sussex seemed unenthused as he looked at his phone during the first night of Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour in California.

Taylor kicked off the London leg of her record-breaking Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium, performing for fans, celebrities and politicians alike, as well as her boyfriend, American footballer Travis Kelce.
Prince William and megastar Swift have known each other for a long time: the couple shared the stage at Kensington Palace to perform Livin’ On A Prayer with Jon Bon Jovi at a charity event in 2013.
The couple along with the children and Kelce posed together for a selfie before the concert began.
The official X account of the Prince and Princess of Wales posted the adorable photo with the caption: ‘Thank you Taylor Swift for a great evening!’
Shortly after, the pop star posted a selfie with the royal and her boyfriend Kelce to say: ‘Happy birthday M8! “The London shows are off to a splendid start,” in a touching message to the heir on his 42nd birthday.
In the photo, Kelce is seen wearing his Team USA Olympic cap.
Comments posted on X, formerly Twitter, in response to images of William dancing included: ‘This is my favorite thing!!! ‘I never knew I needed to see Prince William dancing with Taylor Swift!’
Another poster wrote: ‘Prince William is a Swiftie. Huge dad dancing there.’
Last night’s show came after the military band at Buckingham Palace performed a performance of Shake It Off to mark the arrival of the Eras tour to the UK capital for three nights this weekend, before a further five in August.
Prince William, George and Charlotte took a selfie with Taylor Swift before the royal heir to the throne did his best ‘dad dance’ at Wembley Stadium last night.

Fellow American pop star Taylor Swift posted a selfie with the royal and her boyfriend, American soccer player Travis Kelce, wishing William a happy 42nd birthday.
Also among those attending last night’s show at Wembley Stadium was Cara Delevingne, Taylor’s supermodel-turned-actress friend.
Fellow royals Zara and Mike Tindall, as well as Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer and his wife Victoria were also at the concert.
Sir Keir said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that he was making a ‘quick campaign stop’ – a break before the July 4 general election – to enjoy the concert with his wife.
Mrs Swift was clearly overwhelmed by the crowd of 89,000 who gathered in the capital last night and said: ‘My God, London, look what you’ve done.’ What better way to spend a Friday night than in the most exciting city in the world?
Her first show in London was always going to be special for her as she shares a close affiliation with the capital after calling it her second home during the six years she dated British actor Joe Alwyn.
Taylor Swift brought her record-breaking Eras Tour to London for the first time on Friday night.
Taylor Swift’s various costumes for Friday night’s sold-out Wembley concert included a white dress with her lyrics written on it.
Princess Anne’s daughter Zara Tindall and her former rugby international husband Mike were among those attending Taylor Swift’s first London concert at Wembley Stadium.
The American singer performed in front of 90,000 fans, including royalty, celebrities and politicians.
The 89,000 people were seen lighting up the night with their mobile phones as Taylor Swift took to the stage at Wembley.
In another wardrobe change, she also wore a dazzling blue jumpsuit to reflect the era of the Midnights album.
Swift has also dated several other British heartthrobs, including singer Harry Styles and actor Tom Hiddleston.
Friday night’s gig was the first of three sold-out dates at Wembley, and the international sensation will return in August to perform another five.
During the show, Swift reminisced about concerts at King’s College London and the Shepherd’s Bush Empire she performed early in her career.
She said: “You kept supporting me more and more and the rooms got bigger and bigger and now you’ve done this, sold out three nights in June and five in August.
“I’m not the best at maths, but I think that means we’ll be able to play at Wembley Stadium eight times.”
