Jason Kelce, the retired NFL star, recently reminisced about a memorable encounter with royalty during the 35th Annual American Century Championship (ACC) presented by American Century. 

Reflecting on his experience at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour show at London’s Wembley Stadium last month, Kelce, 36, described meeting Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte as "a nice interaction." 

The meet-and-greet occurred on Friday, June 21, marking Prince William’s 42nd birthday.

During an episode of their podcast New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, the brothers discussed the special moment, emphasizing Princess Charlotte’s vibrant personality. 

“They were lovely, and it was surreal to even be in their presence.” He continued, "I don't know. Maybe it's because I have three girls now. She had fire to her," Kelce remarked about the 9-year-old princess. 

Travis Kelce praised Prince William's parenting style, noting how he encouraged his children to engage actively in conversation during the event.

Kelce, who shares daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1, with his wife Kylie Kelce, expressed admiration for how Prince William interacted with his children. 

"If anyone’s doing it right, Prince William's doing it right. So thank you, Your Royal Highness. It was awesome meeting you, and Charlotte and George," Travis added.
