A royal concert: Prince William sings with Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift. At the Centrepoint gala dinner in 2013, Jon Bon Jovi invited a surprise guest to join him on stage at Kensington Palace.
As he started playing «Livin’ on a Prayer,» he teased the audience about a «karaoke kid» who would soon perform. This «kid» turned out to be none other than Prince William, a patron of the homeless charity Centrepoint.
Despite initial hesitation, Prince William was persuaded to follow Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift onto the stage. The trio gathered for a memorable rendition of the rock anthem, with Swift and William as backup singers. The initially shy prince gained confidence through Swift’s encouragement, becoming more audibly present as the song progressed.
The performance was a significant moment for Prince William, who later explained that it boosted his self-assurance. Despite his initial discomfort and forgetting some lyrics, singing alongside Swift and Bon Jovi was a valuable memory for the prince.
