Travis Kelce’s mom Donna speaks out about Prince William meetup



Travis Kelce experienced a total touchdown at his girlfriend Taylor Swift’s concert over the summer.

Just ask the tight-end’s mom, Donna Kelce, who’s finally spilling the royal tea on his encounter.

The 71-year-old shared that Kelce, 34, told her meeting Prince William and his children Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince George, 11, at Swift’s Eras show at London’s Wembley Stadium in June was “one of the coolest things.”

Donna also revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs player had a modest reaction to his encounter with the royal family members.

She told Extra on Thursday, “He said, ‘ When you meet people like that, you know when the royals come in or Paul McCartney or Hugh Grant … somebody’s in the suite, you’re just like, who in this picture doesn’t fit? Why am I here and why am I even allowed to talk to these individuals? It just doesn’t seem right.’”

But Kelce scored major points with his mom for how he dealt with the interaction. 

“I think he’s handling it pretty well,” Donna gushed. “He’s a pretty friendly guy.”

The athlete attended the Eras concert in London on June 21 to support his leading lady, while Prince William, 42, brought two of his three children to enjoy the night.

Kelce smiled for a selfie with the trio and Swift, 34, backstage at the concert, which the singer posted on Instagram the next day.

“Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start,” she captioned the post and tagging the Prince and Princess of Wales.

William also posted the pic on his official Instagram account.

Kelce didn’t shake off the incredible moment that quickly, as he detailed the experience on his “New Heights” podcast shortly after.

“Dude, he was the coolest motherf—er. He was awesome. They were an absolute delight to meet,” he said. 

“He was awesome,” added Jason, 36.

The brothers agreed that William was “so cool” and is “a good dude.”

Kelce also shared that he wasn’t sure of the royal protocol when meeting the family. “[I] wasn’t sure if I was supposed to, like, bow to them, curtsy, just be an American idiot and shake their hand,” he admitted.

Meanwhile, in her recent chat with Extra, Donna reflected on her youngest son’s whirlwind of a year: from meeting the royals to dating superstar Swift, whom he was first linked to in 2023, and his various career highs, including winning the Super Bowl and acting in Ryan Murphy’s new series “Grotesquerie.”

“[He’s] on top of the world,” she told the outlet.

“Just getting another Super Bowl ring under his belt. It just seems like his life is on a trajectory that just is rising every single day. And every time I turn around I’m seeing him doing something different, whether it’s on the golf course or at a concert, or whatever he’s just having his best life right now.”

But, Donna did tease that Kelce has a blank space to improve in some areas of his life. 

“He can’t clean, he can’t cook… he’s getting a little better. I think he’s getting some help,” she spilled to Extra.
