Taylor’s partner, Travis Kelce, recently opened up about meeting the young royals alongside his brother Jason. Chatting on their podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Jason said: “I gotta say, Prince William was fantastic, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte. Prince George was great too. She was so [expletive] adorable. Like, I cannot.”
Travis added: “She was, she was a superstar. They were an absolute delight to meet. Wasn't sure if I was supposed to, like, bow to them, curtsy, just be an American idiot and shake their hand… We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the pond.”
He joked to his brother: “I've never seen you give someone that much respect. You put your beer, like, 10 feet away from you.”
