Jason Kelce felt 'emasculated' meeting Prince William - 'Closest I've ever been'

Jason Kelce confesses he felt “emasculated” when he met British royal family member Prince William at an Eras Tour show.

So many big-name celebrities have shown up to enjoy Taylor Swift conquering crowds at the Eras Tour, from the likes of English actor Hugh Grant to The Beatles legend Paul McCartney. On an episode of New Heights, Travis Kelce, along with his brother and co-host Jason Kelce, discussed how great it was to attend one of the 34-year-old icon’s recent concerts at Wembley Stadium in London. Now, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles stars may be NFL royalty, but they got to meet genuine royalty when Prince William, heir to the British throne, swung by for a night of great music.

Jason Kelce felt ’emasculated’ after unforgettable Prince William Eras Tour moment

William, the 42-year-old Prince of Wales, attended the Eras Tour on Friday, June 21st 2024, celebrating his birthday at the show with two of his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

Jason and Travis discussed meeting the royal family members backstage while recording the latest episode of their New Heights podcast, and it’s safe to say the monarch made an impression.

“I wasn’t sure if I was supposed to bow to them or curtsy or just be an American idiot and shake their hand,” Trav said, encouraging Jason to make a confession: “They specified because we weren’t at an official royal event we didn’t need to bow or curtsy, but I did still address him as Your Royal Highness. I’ve never felt emasculated, and I did. That was the closest I’ve ever been.”

He regarded William as a “good dude”, with Trav praising him as “the coolest motherf***er. He was so cool.”

Trav expressed just how surprised he was by Jason’s manner. “I’ve never seen you give someone that much respect,” he hilariously added, “you put your beer like 10 feet away from you.”

The pair couldn’t help themselves but extend the praise further and further, seemingly never running out of good things to say about the Duke of Cambridge. Travis brought up the story of when Taylor and William sang Livin’ On A Prayer with Bon Jovi at the Winter Whites Gala charity ball at Kensington Palace.

“They ripped it and they said he had a blast,” Travis said. “And I’m just like, I don’t know if any other Prince is doing that, I mean, like in terms of royalty… you know it seems like they like to sit back and the show is the show but he was cool enough to be a part of it…”

Jason Kelce’s royal highlight wasn’t Prince William but another

William is a tough ticket to beat, but it seems like his own daughter has done just that when it comes to winning over Jason.

While he said meeting Wills was “fantastic”, he had to break the news that it was actually 9-year-old Princess Charlotte, who was his true highlight.

“She was so f***ing adorable,” he gushed. “… She had fire to her, she was asking questions.”

The social media pages for Kensington Palace shared a picture of the royals posing for a selfie with Taylor, and Taylor shared a selfie accompanied by a charming happy birthday message to the prince on her socials too. A royally great night all around.
