Camila Cabello recently took a trip across the pond for an event at Kensington Palace, hosted by none other than Kate Middleton and Prince William themselves. The singer was there to celebrate the finalists of BBC Radio’s Teen Awards, which shine “a light on some of the UK’s most inspirational teens” according to the royals’ Instagram post.
It all sounds very lovely, but thanks to a new interview Cabello did with BBC Radio’s Greg James, who was also on hand at the event, we know there were some shenanigans going on. “Last time I saw you we were at the palace, don’t tell anyone what my mother and I did,” Cabello says, which of course James proceeds to do. He says they were about to meet the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, when he dared the singer to steal something and suggested a nearby pencil.
“I was like, [do] you triple-doggy dare me?” Cabello said. He did, so she snagged the pencil and stashed it in her mom’s purse. “And then you to one of the palace people called me out on it. You were like, ‘She stole a pencil!'”
At least one person present suggested Cabello shouldn’t take the dare. “My mum was like ‘No, we have to give it back, we have to give back the pencil’ and I was like ‘No, he tripled-doggy-dared me, I have to take the pencil,’ so I still have it. I’m sorry William and I’m sorry Kate,” she said. “I honestly couldn’t sleep last night, I had to get it off my chest.”
News of Cabello’s secret pencil thievery made its way to the royals after BBC Radio tweeted out a clip of the interview and tagged their handle, @KensingtonRoyal. Their response? A simple “?” emoji.
We love cheeky royals with a sense of humor, but now we really need Cabello to share a photo of that pencil.
