The Prince of Wales has won over the nation with his boyish charm and fun antics this summer – a side to him most welcomed following a very traumatic year for the Royal Family.
In just a few months, Prince William, 42, has lived through what many would call a nightmare, having endured the news of his wife, Kate Middleton and his father, King Charles’s cancer diagnoses.
But his supporters will be happy to see that, amid his turmoil, the father-of-three has been able to let his guard down and show the public his jolly side.
At yesterday’s Euros game, the future king captured the nation’s hearts as he grimaced, cheered and punched the air with joy when England defeated Switzerland through penalties.
Later on, his emotional hug with winger and man of the moment Bukayo Saka left fans impressed with his ‘enthusiasm’ as they loved that he was ‘not afraid to show it’.
Add that to a lively display of ‘dad dancing’ at Taylor Swift’s sold out London gig last month and a rare sight of him whizzing around Windsor Castle on an electric scooter this week – it’s safe to say Royal fans are enjoying the dawn of a brand new prince.
Fans have taken to X to declare their excitement after witnessing this side of the royal, while many have lauded him for his relatability.
Many pointed to Prince William’s animated reaction yesterday night when England sent Switzerland home after beating them in a tense penalty stand-off at Dusseldorf Arena.
While the Three Lions clawed their way to victory, the Prince, who is also the President of the FA, embarked on a roller-coaster of emotions which saw him thrusted from his seat and punching the air.
At various points throughout the match he was seen shouting and grimacing, while at one point it all proved too much for him as he sat down and covered his face with his hands.
Dubbing the game ‘nail-biting to the very end’, it was only right the Prince reward match hero Bukayo Saka with a hearty congratulations – but he went one step further by extending a warm hug.
After the game William embraced the 22-year-old Arsenal player in the tunnel for a heartwarming hug which he reciprocated with an excited grin.
Bukayo scored in the tense shoot-out which saw England earn a place in the semi-finals.
The prince’s ecstatic reaction ‘unified’ the nation say some, while others have hailed the future monarch for boldly showing his passion for football.
One person drew attention to his ‘”come on England” face’, adding: ‘He is well passionate’.
‘Prince William is every England fan as we enter penalties,’ wrote another.
One fan commented: ‘Prince William enjoying the beautiful game unifies the world’.
‘When it comes to football, Prince William is all of us’ said another.
Agreeing, one wrote: ‘Prince William displaying the emotions of the nation!! Brilliant!’
Similarly Taylor Swift fans were delighted when they caught William busting out ‘dad dancing’ moves at a Taylor Swift concert last month.
The Prince of Wales attended the gig with his three children, Princess Charlotte, Prince George and Prince Louis, and was seen shaking a leg to a performance of his old friend’s hit single ‘Shake it Off’.
The Prince of Wales was among a 90,000-strong crowd who witnessed the megastar kick off her record-breaking Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium. She performed to fans, celebrities and politicians alike – as well as her American footballer boyfriend Travis Kelce.
One person wrote: ‘This is my favourite thing ever!!! I never knew I needed to see Prince William dancing to Taylor Swift!’
Another poster wrote: ‘Prince William is a Swiftie. Immense dad dancing there’.
‘Can’t wait to shake it off like Prince William’ said another.
Prince William and Taylor Swift have long known each other – the pair shared the stage at Kensington Palace to perform Livin’ On A Prayer with Jon Bon Jovi at a charity event in 2013.
Earlier this week, fans went wild when the future king was seen whizzing around Windsor Castle on an electric scooter.
The video, which was shared on social media, appeared to show the eco-friendly Prince of Wales zooming around the royal residence in Berkshire on July 4.
The royal looked chilled and relaxed in a blue jumper with a white shirt underneath, as well as black trousers and a pair of stylish sunglasses.
It was first reported in July 2023 that the father-of-three had invested in an electric scooter to zip around the Windsor estate.
Royal fans delighted in the prince ‘being himself’- while others branded the move ‘funny and so cool’.
‘Prince William the original London Boy riding on his scooter broke at Windsor is too funny and so cool. Love this from the Future King #PrinceWilliam’ wrote one fan.
Another explained: ‘I absolutely love that Prince William can be himself no matter what he is doing – with his children/family, a concert, riding a scooter, a football game, then is completely serious about the work his is passionate about – Earthshot, Homelessness, mental health, Duchy of Cornwall.
Meanwhile one person said: ‘Prince William whizzing around Windsor castle on an electric scooter is my favourite video actually’.
Royal watchers will likely notice the Prince’s inspiring resilience following a year of distressing events.
Kate, 42, revealed she was battling cancer in March this year, just weeks after her father-in-law, King Charles, announced his own diagnosis with the illness.
In the message revealing the diagnosis, Kate said: ‘This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. As you can imagine, this has taken time.
‘It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.
‘But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.’
Since revealing the diagnosis, the Prince and Princess of Wales are said to be ‘enormously touched’ and ‘extremely moved’ by the public’s warmth and support.
