The Prince of Wales accompanied her two eldest children, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 9for Swift’s Eras Tour show in London on Friday, which happened to be his 42nd birthday. The royal father posed for selfies with Swift and her boyfriend, and was seen inside Wembley Stadium as he sang his signature hit, “Shake It Off.” Footage of the future king dancing to the beloved track quickly went viral on social media, with fans pleasantly surprised by William’s enthusiasm.
“Man, he was the coolest son of a bitch,” Travis said excitedly. New heights, presented by Wave Sports + Entertainment. “He was so nice.”
Jason agreed that William was “awesome” and “a great guy.”
The brothers noted that they were initially unsure about the protocol for meeting the royals, expressing uncertainty about whether they should bow, curtsy or “just be an American idiot and shake their hand” during introductions.
“We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the pond,” Travis shared.
“They said because we weren’t at an official royal event, we didn’t need to curtsy or curtsy,” Jason added. “If we were at an official royal event, then that would have been it. But I still addressed him as ‘Your Royal Highness’.”
Jason added with a laugh, “I never felt emasculated, and I did. It was the closest I’ve ever been.”
Travis joked that he had “never” seen Jason “give someone so much respect.”
Philadelphia Eagles Alumnus said he assumed it would be “difficult to be a realistic human being” as a member of the royal family, but that they “completely seemed that way”.
Travis agreed that they were “very genuine” and “very nice.”
Kansas City Chiefs tight end also recalled the story of a 2013 event when Prince William joined Swift and Jon Bon Jovi onstage for a karaoke version of the 1986 hit “Livin’ on a Prayer.”
“Tay brought him out of his shell and sure enough, he went over there and they tore it up and said they had a great time,” Travis said. “I don’t know if any other princes are doing this. You know what I mean? In terms of royalty… it seems like they like to sit back and the show is the show, but he was cool enough to be a part of it.” But it just shows, you know, how personal it is.”
Jason, who is also a father of three, couldn’t help but praise Charlotte too.
“She was so adorable,” he gushed. “I can’t express how, I don’t know, maybe it’s because I have three girls now.”
Jason shares daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1, with his wife of six years, Kylie Kelce.
“She had a fire in her,” he added of Charlotte. “She was asking questions. That was the most electric part.”
