The concert marked the first of eight dates that Taylor, 34, will play at Wembley on her record-breaking The Eras Tour and she hailed the 89,000 strong crowd at the London venue.
The ‘Cardigan’ hitmaker said: “Oh my god. London, look at what you’ve done.
“What better way to spend a Friday night than in the most exhilarating city in the world?”
A number of other stars joined the royals in attendance at the gig – including Taylor’s NFL star boyfriend Travis Kelce, supermodel Cara Delevingne and ‘Bridgerton’ star Nicola Coughlan.
William has a history of collaborating with Swift as he once followed her to the stage to perform a rendition of Bon Jovi’s ‘Livin’ On A Prayer’ at a charity gala in 2013.

Reflecting on the experience in a 2021 podcast, the royal said: “To this day, I still do not know what came over me. 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.'”
William added that he started “sweating” when he realised that he did not know the lyrics midway through the performance.
He recalled: “I wake up thinking to myself, ‘Am I standing on the stage singing… when I don’t even know the words?’
“I can’t be the doofus who’s going to ruin it for everyone. And so I desperately try to remember some of the words and sing as hard as I can.
“Beneath my black tie, there was a lot of sweating going on. I felt like a swan, where I was trying to keep myself composed on the outside, but inside, the little legs are paddling fast.”
