In an episode of their podcast, 'New Heights' with Jason and Travis Kelce, the brothers reminisced about the memorable moment when William took his two eldest children to the concert on his 42nd birthday and they all snapped a selfie with Travis and Taylor Swift. "I don't know. Maybe it's because I have three girls now. She had fire to her."
Jason said about Princess Charlotte, 9. "She was asking questions. That was the most electric part." Jason, who has daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1, with wife Kylie Kelce, noted how impressive it was. Travis agreed, expressing his admiration for how the Prince of Wales engaged with his kids that night. "I love it when parents ask their kids to be present, be vocal," Travis shared.
Jason added, "They encourage them to take the lead in a conversation," which Travis described as "such a good parent move." He further praised Prince William's parenting, saying, "If anyone’s doing it right, Prince William's doing it right. So thank you, Your Royal Highness. It was awesome meeting you, and Charlotte and George."
