Prince William Visits Homeless Charity With Kate Middleton And Starts 'Swag Dance' Craze

One Is Down With The Kids! Prince William Earns Street Cred By Creating 'Swag Dance'

The Duke of Cambridge proved to the world he's got street credibility by creating a new dance tonight.

William was labelled "cool" by teenagers from a south London centre for homeless youngsters after coming up with the "Swag Dance".

The new moves involve brushing imaginary dust off your shoulders as your partner copies you - signalling you have trendy threads.

Kate was not to be outdone by her husband and also bonded with one disadvantaged teenager during a cookery class by making her a birthday cookie the young woman swore she would never eat.

Inspiration struck for the second-in-line to throne as he discussed his wedding outfit with the Duchess and a group of young women who are clients at Centrepoint's Camberwell Foyer - a home for troubled young people.

William, who as a Colonel of the Irish Guards wore the regiment's scarlet red tunic when he wed the Duchess in April, asked Vanessa Boateng, 18, about his uniform.

The teenager, a trainee nursery nurse who moved to the Foyer after family problems, said: "William asked us what we thought about what he wore to his wedding. He said, was his suit dapper?

"I said: 'No, your swag was on point.' He repeated my words and said 'swag', then he started doing this dance."

Later during a reception for many of the Foyer's 80 residents the royal called Miss Boateng over.

The Duke and the 18-year-old performed the dance for the cameras as everyone screamed and cheered - brushing their shoulders in unison.
