Duke sings with ‘rock royalty’ at homeless charity gala
The trio were the main attraction at the Winter Whites Gala in Kensington Palace last night to support homeless charity Centrepoint.
William met rock star Bon Jovi and American pop star Swift in the Kings Gallery at the State Apartments before hitting the red carpet, which was actually blue in line with the night’s winter theme.

Throughout the evening, the prince met young people that Centrepoint has been supporting through housing and other opportunities. Olivia Sabat, 22, who was about to perform at the gala concert alongside Swift and Bon Jovi, revealed the royal had joked about twerking.
Ms Sabat said: “He was like: ‘would it put you off if I was dancing?’ and I said ‘no, I want you to listen – dancing and listening’. And the prince said ‘yeah that’s fine’ and then he started doing a little twerking.
“I said ‘no thanks, no twerking thanks’.”
