Prince William had a fortuitous encounter with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, just days after Kelce’s brother, Jason, expressed his disdain for the British monarchy. In an episode of their “New Heights” podcast, Jason Kelce boldly stated, “I’m out on honoring kings. Listen, we’re Americans. We don’t do royalty.” He even cheekily added that he wouldn’t mind his wife Kylie kneeling at his feet. However, Travis quickly interjected and corrected his brother’s sentiment, stating, “Not ‘f–k kings.'”
Travis redirected the conversation by questioning Jason about his desire for people to kneel at his feet. Jason jokingly replied, “It’s out of respect, it’s Father’s Day. Maybe feed me some grapes.” Travis challenged Jason’s contradictory stance, pointing out that he couldn’t be against kings while also wanting people to bow to him. Jason clarified that he was not interested in people bowing to him but rather preferred his children showing him respect by bowing. Travis playfully corrected his brother once again, emphasizing the importance of respect for kings.
Interestingly, this conversation took place just before Travis had the opportunity to meet Prince William and his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, at Taylor Swift’s concert in London. Travis managed to capture a selfie with the Prince of Wales and his kids, which he later shared on Instagram. The timing of the conversation and the subsequent meeting with Prince William added an amusing twist to the story.
It’s worth noting that Travis Kelce’s encounter with Prince William isn’t the first time the prince has crossed paths with a pop star. He previously met Taylor Swift in 2013 when they appeared together onstage at the Centrepoint Gala alongside Jon Bon Jovi. This connection between Prince William and Taylor Swift adds another layer of intrigue to the story.
In conclusion, while Jason Kelce expressed his aversion to honoring kings, his brother Travis reminded him of the importance of respect. Their humorous exchange took place just before Travis had the opportunity to meet Prince William and his children, creating a comical juxtaposition. The story highlights the unexpected encounters that can occur in the world of celebrities and royalty, adding an element of entertainment to the narrative.
