The Prince of Wales is set to feature on the popular New Heights podcast, co-hosted by American football star Travis Kelce, just as Kelce prepares to marry pop sensation Taylor Swift.
William will chat with the American football player, who is expected to tie the knot with the pop superstar later on Friday at New York’s Madison Square Garden. Travis co-hosts the podcast with his brother Jason Kelce, a retired American football player, who introduced William to their listeners as a "six-foot-three prince from London, England".
In an extract from the pre-recorded show, Jason listed William’s many titles: "That’s right, the president of the English Football Association, the vice-royal patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Cornwall, the Lord of the Isles, Prince and Great Steward of Scotland, Earl of Chester and the Prince of Wales… please welcome His Royal Highness, Prince William."
William smiled and laughed in return, responding: "That was quite an intro guys, amazing." Travis then replied: "We had to do it big for you, had to do it big".
The future king previously joked about receiving an invitation to the highly anticipated summer wedding during an appearance on Heart Radio’s breakfast show in May. When asked, he initially said "no comment" and laughed. William added: "That feels like a showbiz excuse but it’s not. I’m hoping, and I’m sure there might be an invitation around, but we’ll see."
The prince has a personal connection with Swift, having taken his two eldest children, George and Charlotte, to her Eras Tour concert in London last year, where he introduced them to the singer backstage.
He also famously joined Swift and US rock star Jon Bon Jovi on stage for an impromptu rendition of Bon Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer in 2013, at a charity event held at Kensington Palace in aid of the homeless charity Centrepoint.
