Hidden detail in Kate Middleton’s latest photo of Prince George reveals subtle nod to Taylor Swift

Hidden detail in Kate Middleton’s latest photo of Prince George reveals subtle nod to Taylor Swift

Future king Prince George may be a Swiftie after all

Yesterday marked the 11th birthday of Prince George, and as per Royal tradition, a portrait of the future king was released in celebration.

In the last 24 hours, however, a small handful of viewers have spotted a pretty niche detail in the sweet black and white photo, which they believe contributes to the notion that the young monarch is a fan of Taylor Swift.

The photo released by Kensington Palace to commemorate the Prince's special day was captured by his mother, Kate Middleton.

The Princess of Wales captioned the heartwarming photo: "Wishing Prince George a very happy 11th birthday today!"

The black and white photo shows George - who is second in line to the throne, behind his father, Prince William - dressed in a smart suit as he smiles at the camera.

And as we say, a batch of eagle-eyed social media followers of the Wales' have today picked up on a low-key addition to the photo, which has sent Swifties into a frenzy.

It turns out that, if you look closely at the version of the image which was posted to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's Instagram story, as opposed to the image that featured on their upload, a bracelet appears visible young Royal's left wrist.

It's true - poking out ever so slightly from his blazer and shirt is a dainty wristband which, according to some fans of the 'Cruel Summer' singer, resembles the homemade bangles which are famously exchanged by attendees to her Eras Tour concerts.

And - unlike many Swift fan theories, it turns out that this one is actually pretty viable.

That's because the news comes just weeks after George himself was papped enjoying a boogie alongside father William and sister Princess Charlotte after rocking up to one of chart-topping artist Taylor Swift's London gigs.

In the weeks that followed, Prince George was spotted donning the same bracelet from his latest Royal portrait whilst attending the Euros final in Germany with his old man.

It may well be, therefore, that the incoming monarch simply can't get enough of the 'Anti-Hero' hitmaker.

It looked at the time as though the family were enjoying a hell of a time at the sell-out concert back in June, after the Prince of Wales was spotted busting some serious moves while singing along to 'Shake It Off', with the gig also coinciding with his 42nd birthday.

The singer even wished William a 'Happy Birthday' in a subsequent social media post, which she uploaded on 22 June as her UK tour drew to a close.

Posting the selfie - which also included the Wales' two eldest children - on her Instagram page, she wrote: "Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start."

Meanwhile, over on the Prince and Princess of Wales' social media, next-in-line William thanked Taylor for a fab show.

"Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening!" he wrote.
