Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce opened up about the iconic royal selfie the couple took during the Eras Tour, calling Prince William the “coolest motherfucker” and describing Princess Charlotte and Prince George as ” “an absolute delight.”
Travis and his brother Jason Kelce talked about the moment they met the Royals backstage on the latest episode of their podcast.
Speaking about the special experience, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end praised Prince for being “so cool” and “amazing,” but admitted he wasn’t sure if he was supposed to “bow to them” or shake their hands.
The Kelces met Prince William and their two oldest children, George and Charlotte, on June 21 at one of Swift’s sold-out shows in London as part of her record-breaking tour.

The Kelces praised how humble the Prince and his children were during their meeting.
In the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, the brothers detailed the meeting and praised the Prince’s humility.
“We met royalty, guys,” Travis said. ‘There was royalty in the show. I arrived early and met Prince William. What about that? His Royal Highness.
“Dude, he was the coolest motherfucker,” he added. “He was so cool.”
“He was amazing,” Jason echoed his brother’s sentiments. “He was a good guy.”
Jason and Travis also laughed about not knowing proper etiquette when meeting royalty.
Travis then joked about the difference in formality between the UK and the US.
“He was there with little George and Charlotte, and it was a real pleasure to meet them,” Travis said.
“I wasn’t sure if I should bow to them, curtsy, or just be an American idiot and shake their hands.” (Or say:) “Sup dude?”
“We wanted to be polite, especially on this side of the pond,” he continued.
“We got a warning because we honestly don’t know the real (etiquette),” Jason said in response.
“Since we weren’t at a fancy, official royal event, we didn’t have to bow,” the former Philadelphia Eagles center shared. “If it had been an official royal gathering event, then that would have been it.”

They also joked about how former Super Bowl champion Jason felt emasculated after meeting the Prince.
Travis then laughed at how his older brother, and fellow investor in Garage Beer, saved his alcoholic beverage for the important meeting.
“I still addressed him as His Royal Highness, and I never felt emasculated, and that’s how it was,” Jason said, laughing. “That was the closest I’ve ever been.”
“I’ve never seen you respect someone so much,” Travis joked. “You leave 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 all about. They’re part of a monarchy (it’s) hard to be a down-to-earth human being, I guess. But (they) completely ended up like that.”
