Jason Kelce said ‘f–k kings’ before Travis met Prince William at Eras Tour show: ‘We don’t do royalty’
Hopefully, Prince William doesn’t listen to the “New Heights” podcast.
During a recent episode of the Kelce brothers’ podcast, Jason Kelce, 36, voiced his opinion on monarchies while discussing Father’s Day traditions in Thailand.
“I’m out on honoring kings,” the former Philadelphia Eagles center said on the June 19 episode. “Listen, we’re Americans. We don’t do royalty.”
He continued: “F – – k kings. But I wouldn’t mind [wife] Kylie [Kelce] kneeling at my feet.”
Travis Kelce swiftly motioned for his brother to change the subject with a panicked look on his face, perhaps because he knew he was meeting Prince William, the future king of England, just days later.
“Not f – – k kings, but just not into it,” the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, stated. “Why are you into people kneeling at your feet?”
“It’s out of respect, it’s Father’s Day,” Jason responded. “Maybe feed me some grapes.”
Travis argued that his older brother can’t be “out on kings and in on people bowing.”
“I’m not into people bowing,” Jason explained. “I’m into my children bowing to me to show me respect, goddammit.”
With impeccable timing, Travis then met Prince William, 42, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 9, after the first night of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour stop at Wembley Stadium on Friday. The group posed for a selfie together after the concert, which was also William’s 42nd birthday.
“Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start 🇬🇧🇺🇸🤝,” Swift, 34, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, uploading the internet-breaking selfie.
William and Kate Middleton’s official Instagram also shared the historic selfie, with the caption reading: “Thank you @taylorswift for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour.”
William and Swift first met in 2013 when they appeared onstage together at the Centrepoint Gala with Jon Bon Jovi. The two went viral when they joined the musician, 62, in his performance of “Livin’ on a Prayer.”
After Travis meeting the heir to the UK throne became publicized, “New Heights” fans were quick to make connections to Jason’s previous comments.
“The timing of this New Heights clip couldn’t have been any better!” one user wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
William visibly enjoyed his time at the show, as he was spotted dancing as if no one was watching to Swift’s “Shake It Off.”
Travis also had quite the performance, stealing the show when he joined Swift onstage during the third and final Wembley show on Sunday night.
In a top hat and tuxedo, he took part in the outfit-change segment before the Grammy winner performed “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” a song on her 11th studio album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”
The NFL star went all out in his onstage moment as he carried Swift across the stage and “touched up” her makeup.
