Prince William 'Swag Dance' Cracks Everyone Up (VIDEOS, PHOTO)

Remember when Prince William was an awesome dancer?

Uh, neither do we. But the British royal does, on occasion, find excuses to bust out some moves, creating some amazing photo opportunities in the process.

Yesterday was one of those moments, as the royal couple visited a center for homeless youth called Centrepoint to bake cookies and hang out with the kids. While we were distracted by Kate Middleton's chic Ralph Lauren dress, sheer black tights and very flat (read: not pregnant) stomach, Prince William was getting his swag on with the "swag dance."

Quoth the Telegraph:

When the Duke asked whether his suit had been "dapper", she replied: "No -- your swag was on point" meaning she approved. Appearing somewhat confused, the Duke responded: "Swag?" before brushing his lapel.

Check out William brush the dirt off his shoulder at 0:36 -- and in the photo, look at how adorable Kate finds the whole thing. She must've prepared herself for moments like this, given William's long history of awkward dancing.

In July 2007, Prince William and Prince Harry hosted a massive concert in Wembley Stadium in memory of Princess Diana. As Nelly Furtado performed to a crowd of 63,000, Will stood in the royal box, dancing awkwardly with what can only be described as a total "dad move" (see video below).

Even Prince Harry seemed a little embarrassed to be standing next to him.

Luckily by 2008, he seemed to have picked up some new moves. The Daily Mail printed pictures of William dancing with an unidentified blonde at a friends' wedding, spinning her around the dance floor and even singing along to the music.

It was all in preparation, of course, for the Swag Dance. Check out the videos.

What a wonderful display of human kindness and caring. His mother would be very proud. And I think would truly like Kate.

What a wonderful couple. He looks like his mother while Harry looks like his dad. I wonder what the Queen thinks of all the publicity? Stuffy old women.

The Queen loved it. She was back at the palace doin the sawg dance with Philip.
Diana... what a wonderful job you've done. I only wish she were here to see these boys. The Middletons have done an equally terrific job with Catherine.

What a terrific young couple--William is a credit to Diana, absolutely. And how perfectly suited they seem to each other, and how delightfully unassuming and "normal." Their country must be so proud of them.

William and Kate are a nice and delightful couple. Harry is charming also. It is nice that Diana left in the world parts of her that is a wonderful reflection of who she was. I am moved, amused, and please by the behaviors and actions of these three. They do not sit in an Ivory Tower. Politicians around the world could learn a lot from them. They show respect for people. Most people in the US do not feel respected or deemed to matter.

Every time I look at William and Harry I see so much of Diana in them. She did an amazing job of raising her boys. I'm sure she would be proud to see what a charming young man William has become, and how happy he is with Kate. They're a lovely couple. A breath of fresh air in that stuffy royal family.

I do agree with all that you posted. The boys did have a hands on Father also to make sure they had a good life. They both seem very devoted to Prince Charlas. They seemed to accept the shortcomings of both of their parents.

Can't argue with that one. As much as people love to bash Prince Charles, he was very much a part of their lives and instrumental in raising his two sons through their difficult teen years. So props to him as well.
