Travis Kelce didn’t seem to bow to Prince William, but don’t worry, Queen Camilla. Kelce wasn’t one of the many celebrities who have broken royal protocol before. There was a reason why he didn’t bow. The Chiefs star revealed on the “New Heights” podcast that he didn’t know how he was supposed to greet the royal, sharing, “He [Prince William] was there with little George, and Charlotte, and they were an absolute delight to meet. Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to like bow to them, curtsy, or just be an American idiot and shake their hands.”
As the conversation continued, Kelce’s brother Jason, who also attended Taylor Swift’s London concert, revealed they weren’t required to bow in this particular instance. He explained on the podcast, “They said that because we weren’t at an elegant official royal event, we didn’t need to bow or curtsy. If it would have been like an official meeting of royalty event, then it would’ve been that.” Still, the former Philadelphia Eagles star did air on the side of caution when it came to what he should call William, admitting, “But I did still address him as ‘His Royal Highness.'”
The gathering was clearly a memorable moment for the Kelce brothers, and Prince William seemed to have just as fun. A video of the Prince of Wales went viral after his eccentric dance moves to “Shake It Off” caught people’s attention, but who wouldn’t be busting a move at a Taylor Swift concert?
