Travis Kelce Reacts to Prince William Saying He Tried to ‘Move Him Out’ of Royal Family’s 2024 Selfie With Taylor Swift

During an episode of New Heights, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce explained why Prince William tried to remove him from a selfie with Taylor Swift and their children in 2024. "I get it, man," Kelce said. "I was just a boyfriend at that point, and I wasn’t sure if this relationship was going to last, so it was like, ‘Move out of the way real quick so we can preserve this moment forever.’"

Travis also joked, "‘Hopefully this doesn’t go south,’ otherwise this photo isn’t gonna be as good." Although the prince may have had a different intention behind the request, the final photo turned out to be even more significant than expected. The selfie was the first one posted by Swift on her social media account, featuring her, Travis, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince William.

Kelce joked that he would send an edited version of the photo to Buckingham Palace if Jason Kelce suggested Photoshoping him out. This event occurred as the 2026-27 NFL season began, with the Chiefs winning all but one of their games so far. Taylor Swift has also been actively supporting the Kansas City football team, attending every home game and cheering the team on against the Los Angeles Chargers on October 18.
