Travis and Jason Kelce opened up about meeting Prince William during Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour at Wembley Stadium, with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end calling the Prince ‘the coolest motherf*****.’
The Kelces met Prince William and his kids on June 21 at one of Swift’s sold-out shows in London as part of her record-breaking tour.
In the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, the brothers detailed the experience and raved about the Prince’s humility.
‘We met royalty, guys,’ Travis said. ‘There was royalty at the show. I got there early and got to meet Prince William. How bout that? Your Royal Highness.
‘Dude, he was the coolest motherf*****,’ he added. ‘He was so cool.’

‘He was awesome,’ Jason echoed his brother’s sentiments. ‘He was a good dude.’
Jason and Travis also laughed about not knowing the proper etiquette upon meeting the royals. Travis then quipped on the difference in formality between the UK and the United States.
‘He was there with little George and Charlotte, and they were an absolute delight to meet,’ said Travis. ‘I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to bow to them – courtesy [or] just be an American idiot and shake their hand. [Or say:] ‘Sup dude?”
‘We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the pond,’ he continued.
‘We did get a warning because, honestly, we don’t know the actual [etiquette],’ Jason said in response.
‘Because we weren’t at an elegant, official royal event, we didn’t have to bow,’ the former Philadelphia Eagles center shared. ‘If it would’ve been an official meeting-of-royalty event, then it would have been that.’

Furthermore, they joked about how Jason, a former Super Bowl champion, felt emasculated after meeting the Prince. Travis then joked about how his older brother – and fellow investor in Garage Beer – put his alcoholic beverage away for the important meeting.
‘I did still address him as your Royal Highness, and I’ve never felt emasculated, and I did,’ Jason said, laughing. ‘That was the closest I’ve ever been.’
‘I’ve never seen you give someone that much respect,’ Travis joked. ‘You put your beer ten feet away from you.’
‘I didn’t have it in my teeth when I met him,’ Jason continued. ‘They were wonderful people, and that’s what it’s about. They’re part of a monarchy [it’s] hard to be a down-to-earth human being – I would assume. But [they] came off that way completely.’
