Prince William made a surprise appearance on Travis and Jason Kelce‘s podcast New Heights on Friday, the same day that Travis is expected to marry Taylor Swift.
William’s appearance had been teased on social media on Thursday and revealed Friday on Instagram.
“Our guest today is the 6-foot-3 prince from London, England,” Jason says exuberantly in a video posted to Instagram on Friday. “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. 92 percenters, please welcome his Royal Highness, Prince William!”
Travis cheers throughout the intro. “Let’s go!” he says while making bowing gestures.
“That is quite the intro, guys. Amazing,” responds Prince William in the video while laughing.
“We had to do it big for you, had to do it big,” adds Jason.
The Kelces had teased William’s appearance a day before, by noting “We’ve got a very special guest making their New Heights debut” on X.
The special episode will release at 9 a.m. PT on Friday.
Travis and Swift are expected to be getting married Friday in New York, with plans under way at Madison Square Garden for a big extravaganza. Guests were seen arriving at the venue Thursday night for what was reportedly a rehearsal dinner ahead of a bigger bash Friday.
Swift and Travis met William and at least two of his kids when she was in London two years ago for her Eras Tour; photos posted online show Swift taking a selfies of her with the royals and Travis. However, according to People, William won’t be at the wedding.
William appeared on British morning show Heart Breakfast in May, where he was asked if he had received an invitation. “No comment,” he said, before adding: “I’m hoping, and I’m sure there might be an invitation around, but we’ll see.”
