Resurfaced Video Shows William Dancing With Models While Away From Kate and the Kids on Boys' Trip
The media slandered William, as at the time, he was already criticized for being 'work-shy,' despite being the future king-to-be.
Prince William's March 2017 ski trip to Verbier, Switzerland, landed the heir apparent in hot water when he missed the 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 realized 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."
Honestly? I do work really hard on my mental health but my ultimate goal is just to love life as much as Prince William dancing alone in a Swiss nightclub to ‘I Got 5 on It’. pic.twitter.com/neeNW9q6qi

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.
Remember when Prince William, married father of two at the time and heir to the throne, skipped Commonwealth day service to party with models at a Swiss nightclub? #princewilliamaffair pic.twitter.com/SS3S9NVVzd

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.
