 source told Fox News Digital that Swift and Kelce plan to invite Prince William and Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, though attendance has not been confirmed.

Taylor Swift and Prince William’s friendship goes back to 2013

The source notes that Swift’s connection with the future King of England began over a decade ago. The public first saw it in 2013, when a then-23-year-old Swift persuaded Prince William to join her and Jon Bon Jovi on stage for a rendition of 'Livin’ on a Prayer' at a gala fundraiser. The Prince later joked that when Swift invited him, he “got up like a puppy” and followed.

Their bond was highlighted again in June 2024 when Prince William attended Swift’s 'Eras Tour' concert at Wembley Stadium with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Travis Kelce was part of the entourage, and a backstage selfie was shared on both Swift’s and the royal family’s official social media accounts.

Personal gestures strengthen bond between Taylor Swift and Catherine, Princess of Wales

Beyond public appearances, Swift and the royal family reportedly exchanged private letters, inspirational cards, and well-wishes, particularly during Princess Catherine’s cancer treatment. Sources say the planned invitation reflects appreciation for this personal connection.
