Resurfaced Video Shows Prince William Dancing With Models After Abandoning Kate and Kids

Prince William's March 2017 ski trip to Verbier, Switzerland landed the heir apparent in hot waters when he missed Commonwealth Day Service for a lad's only holiday. William, having ditched his wife Kate Middleton and their kids, was spotted having fun, dancing with friends and a young model Sophie Taylor. A video of a woman gyrating against William, and the Prince having his hands on her waist, went viral on social media.

A tourist, present at the club, described how spectators were stunned by the Prince's behavior. As reported by The Sun, the person said, “He was dancing so wildly that I did a double take when I first saw him and thought it must be a lookalike. But before long everyone realised they really were partying with Prince William. I decided I had to film it with my phone or no one would ever believe me." They added, “He was dancing with a very attractive blonde girl to hip hop and really going for it—it was proper dad dancing. I’m not sure whether it was the drink but he didn’t seem to care how he looked and I never saw any security guys keeping an eye on him or his three mates."

“He started trying on hats starting with a skier’s bobble hat, and then a cowboy hat as he danced with the blonde. It was a hilarious sight,” the person added. Reflecting on the incident, royal expert Katie Nicholl, at the time, opined, “It’s safe to assume that Kate will be far from happy about this. She’s left at home with the children while William is off on a bachelor blow-out. It's known she doesn’t like it when he goes off on his own and does such things. As a couple they're very careful of their image and what they project. This is definitely not the image that Kate wants to convey."

Before hitting the nightclub, William kicked off his day with a drinks-filled lunch on the slopes, surrounded by friends and other guests. A waitress at the restaurant later shared that William was friendly and not at all snobby. During a radio interview—while sitting next to Middleton—William addressed the incident himself. William when asked if he had ever been to Glastonbury or if he’d like to go someday, joked, “I’ve got into enough trouble with my dancing recently. So it’s probably best to stay away from that one," Grazia Magazine reported.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge laughed it off, hinting that there was no love lost over the incident. While all was well in paradise, the media slandered William, as at the time, he was already criticized for being 'work-shy,' despite being the future king-to-be, The List reported.
