Prince William playfully shades Travis Kelce over viral Taylor Swift selfie
Key Points:
- Prince William humorously recalled trying to move NFL star Travis Kelce out of a viral selfie with Taylor Swift and his children during her London Eras Tour stop in June 2024, wanting the photo to feature just himself, Swift, and his kids.
- The initial selfie included Kelce smiling and placing his hand on William’s back, but a subsequent photo excluded Kelce, featuring only Swift, William, and his two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
- The group photo marked a milestone in Swift and Kelce’s relationship as the first time she posted him on Instagram, a detail William only realized later.
- Swift and Kelce got engaged in August 2025 and married in July 2026 at Madison Square Garden, though Prince William and Kate Middleton did not attend the wedding despite speculation.
- In July, Kelce reflected fondly on the meeting with William and his children during the prince's guest appearance on Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.
