Travis Kelce has responded to Prince William's joke about cutting him out of a 2024 Eras Tour photo with Taylor Swift. On the October 28 episode of the New Heights podcast, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce, Jason raised the royal's comments from his appearance on The Graham Norton Show, and Travis said he understood the joke, according to OK! Magazine's report of the episode.
"I get it, man," Travis said, as quoted by OK!. "I was just a boyfriend at that point, you know, I wasn't her husband yet. You know, we don't really know if this is going to last." Jason joked that he hoped the relationship wouldn't go south, so the family could look back on the photo fondly. The couple had been dating for just over a year when the picture was taken.
William said on the Graham Norton Show on October 23 that he had not appreciated the photo's significance until recently, and that he had tried to move Kelce out of it because "Travis kept coming back in." The picture, taken backstage in London with William's children, was shared by the Prince and Princess of Wales with a thank-you caption to Swift. OK! also reports it was the first photo of Kelce that Swift shared on her own social media.
The exchange is a light-hearted remark made during a podcast, and the quotes here come from OK!'s account of that episode rather than a full transcript. It adds a personal reflection on the photo's early context, but it does not show any new development in the relationship.
