Travis Kelce’s candid recount of meeting Prince William at Taylor Swift’s concert in London didn’t just make headlines—it likely raised a few royal eyebrows too. The Kansas City Chiefs star, known for his football prowess and apparently now for his unfiltered language, didn’t hold back when describing his royal encounter on the “New Heights” podcast. Referring to the future king as “the coolest motherf****r,” Kelce’s colorful choice of words might not have sat well with sticklers of royal decorum, especially considering Queen Camilla’s newfound strictness on protocol.
Despite the informal tone, Kelce managed to avoid a major faux pas by not attempting a misguided bow or curtsy. He confessed to being unsure about the appropriate royal greeting, opting instead for a straightforward handshake. His brother Jason clarified that, since they weren’t at a formal royal affair, formalities like bowing were unnecessary—though they did play it safe with a respectful “His Royal Highness.”
The episode was a blend of celebrity meets royalty, with Kelce and company mingling casually with Prince William, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George. While Kelce’s description might not win points for formality, it certainly adds a humorous twist to the usual royal encounters. And let’s not forget Prince William’s viral dance moves at the concert—a reminder that even royals can let loose to Taylor Swift’s tunes.
