Just days before Travis Kelce met Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte at Taylor Swift's London concert, his brother Jason Kelce criticized the concept of a monarchy.

“I’m out on honoring kings,” the retired Philadelphia Eagles player said in last Wednesday’s episode of their “New Heights” podcast. “Listen, we’re Americans. We don’t do royalty.”

Jason, 36, added, “F–k kings, but I wouldn’t mind [my wife] Kylie kneeling at my feet.”

The Kansas City Chiefs tight end, 34, urged his brother to reconsider his stance, saying, “Not ‘f–k kings.'”

Travis then steered the conversation away from the monarchy by asking Jason about his interest in people kneeling at his feet.

“It’s out of respect, it’s Father’s Day,” Jason explained. “Maybe feed me some grapes.”

Travis countered that Jason couldn't reject kings while enjoying people bowing, leading Jason to clarify that he isn’t into “people bowing” but likes “my children bowing to me to show me respect, god-damn it.”

The timing of this humorous exchange was perfect, as Travis soon after took a selfie with the Prince of Wales, his children, and the “Cruel Summer” singer after he and Jason attended the Cannes Lions festival in the French Riviera.
