Prince William crossed paths with Travis Kelce at a Taylor Swift concert

This NFL showcase comes just four months after Prince William’s encounter with Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce in London. The two met during one of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour shows at Wembley Stadium, where the footballer and the royal posed for a memorable selfie with William's children, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 9.



 

Donna Kelce, Travis’ mom, revealed that her son considered meeting Prince William "one of the coolest things." Despite his excitement, Travis remained humble about the experience, saying, "When you meet people like that, you know when the royals come in or Paul McCartney or Hugh Grant… somebody's in the suite, you're just like, who in this picture doesn't fit? Why am I here and why am I even allowed to talk to these individuals? It just doesn't seem right," reported Extra

He admitted he wasn’t sure how to greet the royals, joking, "[I] wasn't sure if I was supposed to, like, bow to them, curtsy, just be an American idiot and shake their hand."
