London, Nov 27 (IANS): Singer Taylor Swift considers herself lucky that she got to meet Prince William and says he is very funny.

"He was very funny. I was really happy he was funny," contactmusic.com quoted Swift as saying.

The 23-year-old singer performed here at the annual Winter Whites Gala at Kensington Palace Tuesday, in aid of youth homelessness charity Centrepoint.

William and his wife, Duchess Catherine, are the current Patron of Centrepoint, the leading charity in Britain supporting homeless young people aged 16-25 years.

William attended the event solo as Catherine opted to stay at home to mind their four-month-old son, Prince George.

The 33-year-old royal joined Swift on stage for an impromptu performance with Jon Bon Jovi at the event.

Upon arriving at the gala, Swift said: "I am absolutely excited. I don't think I have ever played at a palace before so it is really wonderful. It's really wondrous, I think they have done an amazing job of putting this together."

The charity organisation provides a range of accommodation and additional support in health, education and life skills.
