The Prince of Wales made a surprise appearance on Travis Kelce's podcast, New Heights, on the day the NFL star is set to marry pop superstar Taylor Swift at Madison Square Garden. The episode, released at 5pm, features Prince William as a guest, fulfilling a running joke from 2024 when he hinted at wanting an invitation to the wedding.
Royal cameo on New Heights podcast
The teaser clip shows Jason Kelce, Travis's brother and co-host, introducing the guest with an elaborate title: 'Our guest today is the six-foot-three Prince from London, England. That's right, the President of the English Football Association, the Vice-Royal Patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Cornwall, the Lord of the Isles, Prince and Great Steward of Scotland, Earl of Chester and the Prince of Wales, please welcome his Royal Highness, Prince William!'
The podcast appearance adds a royal touch to what is already one of the most high-profile weddings of the year. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are tying the knot on July 3, 2026, with festivities kicking off in time for American Independence Day. The ceremony is being held at New York's iconic Madison Square Garden, with celebrities such as Graham Norton reportedly jetting in for the event.
Wedding details and fan anticipation
Fans are eagerly awaiting details of the wedding, which has been the subject of widespread speculation. Reports have emerged of drama over invite snubs and a $26,000,000 giveaway, though these have not been confirmed. The couple's three-year romance has captivated the public, and the wedding is expected to be a star-studded affair.
Prince William's appearance on the podcast is particularly notable given his previous lighthearted comments about wanting to attend the wedding. He had met the couple in 2024, sparking the joke. The podcast episode is expected to draw significant attention, blending British royalty with American sports and entertainment.
