Taylor Swift was all smiles as she spent time with Prince William, despite previously turning down an opportunity to collaborate with Meghan Markle. The future king was seen showing off some enthusiastic dance moves at Taylor’s Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium on Friday night. After the show, he enjoyed a backstage meet-and-greet with the pop sensation. Joining William for this exciting encounter were his two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who posed for a cheerful selfie with Taylor, joined by her boyfriend, Travis Kelce.

This warm exchange with Prince William stands in stark contrast to the snub Meghan Markle received when she attempted to lure Taylor onto her “Archetypes” podcast with a “personal letter.” The Telegraph reports that Meghan wrote a personal letter inviting Taylor to be part of the podcast, but Taylor declined through a representative.

“Archetypes,” which aired for a single season on Spotify, featured Meghan as the host for 12 episodes with a star-studded lineup, including Serena Williams, Paris Hilton, and Jameela Jamil. The show was eventually dropped from Spotify, leading to a row as it emerged that Meghan and Prince Harry were cut from the platform. A senior Spotify executive reportedly criticized the royal couple, calling them “f****** grifters.”

Prince William, Taylor Swift, and her boyfriend Travis Kelce shared a delightful moment backstage. The future king’s children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, were thrilled to meet Taylor, and they all took a selfie together. This encounter highlighted a stark contrast to Meghan Markle’s failed attempt to collaborate with Taylor.

After the end of “Archetypes,” Meghan Markle teamed up with Lemonada Media, which has already released the first series of her podcast. Meghan shared her excitement about the new venture earlier this year, stating, “I’m proud to now be able to share that I am joining the brilliant team at Lemonada to continue my love of podcasting.”

She added, “Being able to support a female-founded company with a roster of thought-provoking and highly entertaining podcasts is a fantastic way to kick off 2024. Our plan to re-release ‘Archetypes’ so that more people can now have access to it, as well as launching a dynamic new podcast, are well in the works. I’m so eager to be able to share it soon and am overjoyed to be joining the Lemonada family.”

This new partnership marks an exciting chapter for Meghan as she continues her journey in the world of podcasting.
