Travis and Jason Kelce shared their experience of meeting Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte during Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in London on their recent episode of the New Heights podcast.
The NFL star brothers discussed their memorable encounter with the royal family while attending Taylor Swift’s concert in London, England.
“We don’t even know if we’re allowed to tell you guys,” Travis admitted during the taping, which took place on Saturday morning at a local pub. Jason added, “We’ve gotten mixed messages on whether we’re allowed to share this story or not.”
On Friday, Prince Charles attended Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show in London with his two eldest children, Prince George, aged 10, and Princess Charlotte, aged 9. It coincided with his 42nd birthday.
The Prince of Wales took photos with Swift and her boyfriend and was seen dancing to her popular song “Shake It Off” inside Wembley Stadium. Videos of the future king enjoying the music swiftly spread across social media, delighting fans who were pleasantly surprised by William’s energetic participation.
“Dude, he was the coolest mother f**ker,” Travis gushed on New Heights, “He was so cool.”
Jason agreed that William was “awesome” and “a good dude.”
“We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the pond,” Travis shared.
“They said that because we weren’t like at, like, an official royal event, we didn’t need to bow or curtsey,” Jason added. “If we would have been at an official meeting of royalty event, then it would have been that. But I did still address him as ‘Your Royal Highness.'”
Jason added with a laugh, “I’ve never felt emasculated, and I did. That was the closest I’ve ever been.”
The Philadelphia Eagles alum said he assumed it would be “hard to be a down to earth human being” as a member of the royal family, but that they “came off that way completely.”
Travis agreed that they were “very genuine” and “very cool.”
“Tay got him out of his shell and sure enough, he went up there and they ripped it and they said they had a blast,” Travis said. “I don’t know if any other prince is doing that. You know what I mean? In terms of royalty … it seems like they like to sit back and the show is the show, but he was cool enough to be a part of it. But that just shows you, you know, how personable he is.”
Jason, who is also a dad of three, couldn’t help but heap praise onto Charlotte, as well.
“She was so f**king adorable,” he gushed. “I cannot express how, I dunno, maybe it’s because I have three girls now.”
“She had a fire to her,” he added of Charlotte. “She was asking questions. It was, that was the most electric part.”
