Princess Charlotte, Prince George and their father, Prince William, had the chance to meet their idol Taylor Swift on June 21, 2024, on the sidelines of her concert in London. The opportunity for the heir to the throne and his children to be introduced to her companion, American football player Travis Kelce, who was full of praise for Kate and William’s daughter.
Their personalities have emerged over the years, through official appearances, but little information actually filters through about their character and behavior in private. Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis represent three well-defined roles in public within the monarchy, as within their family. The eldest of Prince William and Kate is the heir who is passionate about music and sport, an accomplice with his father in the stands at football matches, but often serious, with a grave look always seeming aware of the weight on his shoulders. The only daughter of the couple is George’s substitute who does not let herself be counted, her eyes sparkling with mischief, a “daddy’s girl” as she resembles the heir to the throne, always attentive to the misconduct of his brothers in public. Finally, Prince Louis is the youngest, impatient and playful, boisterous and irresistible.

A picture that would have been very smooth and incomplete without the confidences of Travis Kelce, companion of the American singer Taylor Swift and American football champion. He revealed some royal secrets about Prince William, George and Charlotte in the weekly podcast New Heights which he co-presents with his brother Jason. While she has been touring Europe for two months with her Eras Tour, the one who reigns over the American music industry saw Prince William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte slip into the stands at Wembley in London, on June 21, the birthday of Charles III’s eldest son. A historic selfie, testimony to the meeting between the star and Wales, was broadcast the next day. It also features Travis Kelce. Little concerned by the usual reserve of Her Majesty’s subjects when they meet members of the British royal family, he recounted the behind-the-scenes of the meeting in the episode broadcast on June 26, filmed the day after the concert, in the Passyunk Avenue Bar, a London pub.
And it’s an understatement to say that Princess Charlotte made a big impression on them! “She’s a superstar,” Travis confides. “She had fire,” continues the Superbowl winner. “She asked a lot of questions.” Prince William’s daughter, who is the real “Swiftie” – Taylor Swift fan – of the family, knew how to seize the moment and enjoy the moment. Not shy, Charlotte was the one who took the lead during the meeting. And it’s a trait of her personality that Travis Kelce particularly appreciated, singing the praises of Prince William’s parenting methods. “I love it when parents let their children express themselves and take space…When they encourage them to take the initiative in a conversation,” he explains.
Seduced by Prince George, described as “adorable”, Taylor Swift’s companion especially appreciates the simplicity and relaxation of Prince William. “I arrived early and I was able to meet Prince William, can you believe it? His Royal Highness”, the athlete is surprised. Travis Kelce reveals that the meeting was prepared in advance because of protocol. Having never met a member of the royal family, Travis did not want to make a mistake and come across as “the stupid American”. He then asked the teams of the son of Charles III what the rules of politeness were to follow. “We didn’t need to curtsy because we weren’t in an official setting”, he specifies. Impressed, Taylor Swift’s companion reveals, using an expression that hardly suits a member of the Crown, that Prince William is “the coolest”.

“An absolute treat”… This is how the two brothers describe Prince William and two of his three children. Prince Louis, too small, had stayed with his mother Kate on the evening of the concert. Treated for cancer, she preferred to stay warm. The praise of Taylor Swift’s partner on the personality of his children must have immensely pleased the mother of George, Charlotte and Louis. Much more than a place in the stands at Wembley.
