Travis Kelce still can’t believe he met Prince William. The athlete had the chance to shake hands with the heir to the British crown backstage at a concert by his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, in London on June 21. And the player and his brother Jason Kelce agree on one thing: the prince is super “cool”!
“Dude, this motherfucker is the coolest dude on Earth,” Travis Kelce told New Heightsthe podcast he hosts with his brother. “He’s awesome,” Jason Kelce added. But what was Prince William doing at a Taylor Swift concert?
A developed protocol
The eldest son of King Charles III did not come alone to the Taylor Swift concert. He was accompanied by his children. Indeed, Travis and Jason Kelce also had the honor of meeting Prince George, 10, and his sister, Princess Charlotte, 9. Moreover, the two athletes, rather used to screaming during a match with a beer in hand, wondered if there was not a protocol to respect in these cases.
“We wanted to be polite,” insisted Travis Kelce, who was on the verge of curtsying, or even kneeling! But the greatest mark of respect came from Jason Kelce, who did the honor of putting down his pint before greeting the members of the royal family. “I’ve never seen you show so much respect to anyone,” Travis Kelce remarked wryly to his brother. Indeed, we are starting from afar in terms of protocol!
