Travis Kelce has revealed what he thought of the Prince of Wales after meeting the royal at his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s London concert.
The American football tight end, who has been in a relationship with Swift since September 2023, joined the singer as she met Prince William, and his children Prince George and Princess Charlotte, at last Friday’s show at London’s Wembley Stadium.
A picture of the group was posted on Instagram on 21 June, the same day as William’s 42nd birthday.
Describing the royal meet on podcast New Heights, which he hosts with his brother Jason, Kelce said: “He [Prince William] was the coolest m*****f*****.
“They were an absolute delight to me, I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to bow to them or curtsy, or just be an American idiot and shake their hand.”

Jason, who retired from the NFL back in March, added that they were given guidance before meeting the royals that because it was not an official event they did not need to bow.
“The highlight was Princess Charlotte, Prince George was great too, but she was so f****** adorable,” the former Philadelphia Eagles player said.
“I cannot express how much of a superstar she was.

“Maybe it’s because I have three girls now, but she had fire to her, she was asking questions, that was the most electric part of it.”
Praising William’s parenting technique, Kelce said it seemed like nine-year-old Charlotte had been encouraged to be “present and vocal” and was asking questions.
The pair also had high praise for London itself, from the scenery to the better tasting beer.

“The beers, they’re a little bit tastier over here, they’ve been doing it for a little bit longer, it does taste really nice over here,” Kelce said, adding: “The scenery is awesome, it kind of switches depending on which part of London you’re in, and I like that.”
In the ultimate seal of approval he said the only team he would leave the Kansas City Chiefs for would be a team based in London as he said the city was “awesome”.
On night three – of eight Swift will perform in London in total this year – Kelce joined the US pop star on stage sending the crowd of almost 90,000 wild.
It is the first time the footballer has appeared on stage, while his brother Jason revealed the shows in the capital was the first time he had seen the singer perform live.
