When Jason Kelce insults Prince William before his brother meets him, he’ll gain some new fans.
And perhaps some realistic critics.
On the first weekend of summer, Taylor Swift posed with a fan — Prince William — when he and two of his children attended her sold-out performance in London.
Just days before Taylor (and Travis Kelce) met the Prince of Wales, Jason condemned monarchies.

Prince William received a royal diss from Jason Kelce
Sometimes we have no choice but to stay.
On the Wednesday, June 19 episode of Travis and Jason Kelce New heights podcastJason said some very right things about the monarchy.
And – to the surprise of no one familiar with the retired Philadelphia Eagles player – he didn’t mince words.

“My goal is to honor kings,” said Jason Kelce before pointing out that this is undoubtedly a central concept behind the United States.
“Listen, we’re Americans,” he argued. “We don’t do royalty.”
While America and its founding documents are riddled with countless flaws – from legal ambiguities to systemic oppression to a lack of foresight – rejecting the monarchy is something the US got absolutely right.
Apparently, Travis didn’t like the fact that Jason mocked the monarchy
Telling a rather crude joke, Jason Kelce added, “Fuck it, but I wouldn’t mind (my wife) Kylie kneeling at my feet.” He also joked about the idea of people feeding him grapes.
For some reason, his brother Travis dismissed his sentiment, almost begging, “No ‘f–k kings.’”
It’s unclear why Travis Kelce backed away from this, unless it was the expectation of meeting royalty days later at Wembley Arena. Clear, Travis has been wrong about things beforeso perhaps he feels some sympathy for the UK institution.

To be fair, Travis no backing down would mean appearing to agree that – at the risk of putting words in Jason’s mouth – the monarchy makes the UK an objectively worse place.
And that could make things awkward if he personally knew a member of the British royal family.
And, of course, he did just that. Travis ended up appearing in a Instagram photo with Taylor Swift, Prince William, Princess Charlotte and Prince George.
The story of the monarchy with Taylor Swift
Prince William has met Taylor Swift before – back in 2013, in fact. It was arguably a much bigger deal. for Prince George and Princess Charlotte to watch Taylor perform, not to mention the royal meeting.
And this is where things get complex. Because even though Jason is absolutely right about the monarchy, that doesn’t mean he — or anyone — is condemning this family for the circumstances of their birth.
You may detest what someone represents, even though you recognize that people appear to be very decent. Maybe not William or Charles and certainly not Andrewbut we all hope George and Charlotte had a great time.
