Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce, did not bow to the Prince of Wales during their meeting backstage following the superstar’s concert in London, and there’s a reason for it.
The NFL star mingled with British royalty last Friday when the heir to the throne, who was celebrating his 42nd birthday, attended the gig at Wembley Stadium, joined by his two eldest children, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, nine.
William and his children met with the singer, her boyfriend, as well as his brother, Jason Kelce, backstage, after the show had finished and even took selfies to mark the occasion which went viral on social media.
According to Travis, the group did not have to follow royal protocol and bow to the royals.
While there are no obligatory codes of behaviour when meeting the monarch or a member of the Royal Family, many people wish to observe the traditional forms, according to the royal website. For men, this is a neck bow, whilst women do a small curtsy.

Talking on their podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, Travis said: “Obviously we’re backstage meeting him, he was there with little George and Charlotte. They were an absolute delight to meet. Wasn’t sure if I was supposed to bow to them, curtsy, be an American idiot and shake their hand.”
Then his brother, Jason, added: “They specified that because we were not at an official royal event, we didn’t need to bow or curtsy. But I did still address him as Your Royal Highness, and I’ve never felt emasculated, and I did. That was the closest I’ve ever been.”
Travis then said: “I’ve never seen you give someone that much respect, you put your beer like 10 feet away from you.”
Elsewhere, Travis labelled William the “coolest motherf*****” after their meeting.

He said: “Dude, he [Prince William] was the coolest motherf*****. He was awesome. He was so cool.”
Meanwhile, Jason talked about how Charlotte made the biggest impression on him, explaining: “I gotta say, Prince William was fantastic when I met him, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte.
“She was so f****** adorable. I don’t know, maybe it’s because I have three girls now. She had fire to her, she was asking questions.”
