Prince William makes a surprise appearance on Travis Kelce’s podcast hours before Kelce’s wedding to Taylor Swift.

Prince William popped by Travis and Jason Kelce‘s podcast New Heights, with the episode arriving only hours before the Kansas City Chiefs player’s big wedding to Taylor Swift.

In the 30-minute interview, William shared the origins of his love of soccer, attending Swift’s Eras Tour in 2024, and his thoughts on the World Cup so far. Travis opened the conversation by asking if it was William’s father, King Charles, who got him into soccer and Aston Villa FC. Absolutely not,” William replied. “My father hates football.”

He added that he’s been anticipating the World Cup “for a long time.” William, who has been involved with the Football Association for 20 years, said he is “quietly” hoping England will improve their current standing.

“As each World Cup goes on and the results don’t quite go your way, a little bit of hope gets chipped away each time,” William said. “So I’m just, you know, I’m taking it calmly and quietly and like, ‘Come on, we’re going to do well’ and see how we go. But I am quietly confident.” He added, “If we lose, we lose playing the way we want to play.”

Later in the interview, Jason turned the conversation to American football. “What is the most iconic moment at Wembley Stadium: Travis scoring a touchdown in 2015 against the Lions or Travis as a backup dancer to the one and only Taylor Swift?” he asked.

“Travis as a backup dancer,” William replied.

“Definitely a very proud moment of my life, for sure,” Travis added of his moment onstage in 2024. When William suggested he do it again, Travis confirmed, “If Tay’s gonna sign up for a tour, I’ll happily make sure that we bring [it] back to life.”
