There‘s a new royal event of the summer, no it’s not Wimbledon or Ascot, or anything with royal in the title, it’s a gig with 90,000 people in north west London, Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour.
The Bad Blood singer, 34, kickstarted her London tour dates over the weekend with three sellout shows at Wembley. She’ll return for five more dates in August.
And members of the public weren’t the only ones filling the arena with arms full of friendship bracelets and glitter across their faces, but also European royalty.
The Prince of Wales was spotted quite literally shaking it off as he watched the singer perform live, before gathering Prince George and Princess Charlotte backstage for a selfie with Taylor and Travis Kelce.
Meanwhile, Zara and Mike Tindall watched alongside close pals Natalie Pinkham and Holly Branson, and Princess Beatrice‘s husband, Edo Mapelli Mozzi was also in attendance, not to mention Greek royalty.

Taking to Instagram, television presenter Natalie Pinkham shared snaps of Zara and Mike Tindall at the event, along with Richard Branson’s daughter – Holly, 42.
The royal couple put on a romantic display and held hands as they strolled into the London arena.
Princess Anne’s daughter, 43, donned denim mini shorts and a sparkling glitter jacket as she posed for a photograph at the concert.
Meanwhile, former rugby union star Mike Tindall, 45, sported pink attire and a t-shirt referencing the singer’s much-loved song – You Need to Calm Down.
The 45-year-old later put on a sweet display as he hugged Natalie’s daughter, Willow, at the event.
At the same event, Prince William delighted fans with his gleeful ‘dad dancing’. Footage emerged of exuberant William breaking out his best ‘dad dancing’ as the singer performed her 2014 hit single Shake It Off.
The US pop star then posed for a selfie with the Prince of Wales as well as two of his children Princess George and Princess Charlotte at the Wembley Stadium show, along with the singer’s boyfriend Travis Kelce.
While William’s youngest child Prince Louis remained at home with his wife Kate, he was accompanied by George and Charlotte in the 90,000-strong crowd.

The Prince and Princess of Wales’s official X account posted an adorable photo William, George and Charlotte with Swift – with the caption: ‘Thank you Taylor Swift for a great evening!’
Soon after, the popstar posted a selfie with the royals and her boyfriend Kelce to say: ‘Happy birthday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start’ in a touching message to the heir for his 42nd birthday.
However, an insider has claimed that the royals’ journey into Wembley wasn’t smooth-sailing – and there was a ‘panic’ about their timings.
They told HELLO!: ‘They had a nightmare getting in, they were running really late but they had planned to get there earlier so they could have the meet and greet with Taylor beforehand because they knew they wanted to leave early.
‘They only had 25 minutes to spare so had a quick meet and greet and then went up to their box before the show, and there was a bit of stress and panic about that because it was taking too long.’
The insider also claims Prince William and his children tried to stay towards the back of the box so not to draw too much attention to themselves during the performance.
Elsewhere, Edo Mapelli Mozzi also proved himself to be Swifite. Edo shared a photo from Taylor Swift’s concert in Wembley on Saturday night – with his wife Princess Beatrice likely in tow.

Property developer Edo, 40, took to his Instagram to share an atmospheric snap of the crowd from the gig that has been this weekend’s hottest ticket.
However, it’s not just Britain’s royals that have enjoyed the US star’s sell out shows in London, but also the Greek royal family.
Crown Princess of Greece Marie Chantal shared a snap of her family outside the event on Sunday with the caption: ‘Swifites’.
Meanwhile, rumours swirled that the daughters of King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain attended the show in London.
It is thought that Princess Leonor and her younger sister Princess Sofia attended Taylor’s Wembley show over the weekend.
Princess Olympia of Greece looked in high spirits as she danced the night away at the Taylor Swift Eras Tour concert.

The socialite, 27, was filmed at Wembley Stadium in north London jamming to the global superstar’s London concert with her pals.
Olympia, daughter of Crown Princess Marie-Chantal and Crown Prince Pavlos of Greece, got into the Swiftie spirit by waving her hands in the air and singing along to Blank Space, part of her 1989 album.
She donned blue skinny jeans and a tan-coloured long sleeved top which she paired with a black and silver cowboy hat.
It’s thought that the Princess chose this headwear to match Taylor’s 2008 country album, Fearless, where she sings about love and heartbreak.
Olympia wore her signature short blonde tresses down in a straight blow-dry and donned bright red lipstick, Taylor’s signature shade.
She could be seen smiling and singing the lyrics to the camera: ‘I can read you like a magazine. Ain’t it funny rumours fly and I know you heard about me so hey let’s be friends.’
