Admittedly, it was tough for Travis Kelce to shake off his nerves before he met Prince William and his kids Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, during Taylor Swift's London Eras Tour stop in June 2024. 

"That was honestly one of the coolest moments ever, was meeting you and the little ones that day," Travis gushed to William, 44, when he made an appearance on his and brother Jason Kelce's New Heights podcast July 3. (Airing mere hours before the Kansas City Chiefs tight end was set to wed the pop star at New York City's Madison Square Garden, it was pre-taped well before the vows.) 

And while the athletes were certainly enchanted to meet the royals, they did their best to keep calm and, well, you know. 

"Me and Jason joke about it all the time," Travis, 36, shared. "We were so nervous to meet you guys and the royal family. And Jason has this running joke where he didn’t know what to do with his beer."

But, in fact, noted the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, 38, he really didn't have a game plan for his beverage. 

Cracking that it very much "wasn't a joke," he acknowledged he was afraid of having a proverbial flag thrown. "You want to be respectful and know what the protocols are."

But once they had the chance to huddle up with the entire fam backstage, the night was sparkling, they didn't want to let it go. 

And for Jason—dad to daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 5, Bennett, 3 and Finnley, 15 months, with wife Kylie Kelce—spending time with Charlotte earned a spot on his highlight reel.  

"I have four daughters, and she was great," he told William, who responded, "Congratulations on four daughters. I don’t know how you did that."

It's all about figuring out the Xs and Os, noted Jason. "Definitely a difficult task," he acknowledged. "The hardest job."

As for lining up opposite Charlotte, "She was so f--king adorable," Jason detailed on a June 2024 New Heights episode days after the concert. "I cannot express how—I don't know maybe it's because I have three girls now—she had fire to her, she was asking questions. That was the most electric part." 

Travis offered his own post-game commentary at the time.

"If anyone is doing it right, Prince William is doing it right," shared the athlete. "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, it was awesome meeting you. And Charlotte and George."

No wonder William thought he might score an invite to Kelce and Swift's white veil occasion.

When asked if he made the massive guest list while appearing on the Heart Breakfast radio show May 22, the royal suggested he was ready for it. 

"No comment," said the heir. "I'm hoping and I'm sure there might be an invitation around but we'll see."

Plenty of notable celebrities did have the chance to stand as Swift took her magnetic force of a man to be her lover.

We're filling in all the blank spaces about the guest list. Because, yes, the pop star had a long list of invitees. And we're writing their names. 

Come here, dressed in black now, the actress rocked an asymmetrical look for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's July 3, 2026 wedding in New York.

Best believe Swift's longtime friend—and collaborator on "Lavender Haze"—was bejeweled in a mini dress and strappy heels for the soirée. However, her plus-one was a blank space, since her fiancé Harry Styles (also Swift's ex) performed on London on July 3.

The "Havana" singer—who opened for Swift's Reputation tour—was burning red in her deep V dress for the affair at Madison Square Garden. 

No bad blood here. The former bestie of Swift proved that some hatchets can be buried as she stepped out with her husband for the wedding. 

After the storm, something was indeed born on the Fourth of July for both Sheeran and Seaborn, as well as Swift and Kelce, who will tie the knot July 3.

After attending the Eras Tour, the actor and his wife showed their love, actually, for Swift and Kelce.

One for the money, two for the show—the late night host wasn't going to be a no-show for this one.

The Ted Lasso star—whose ex Olivia Wilde went on to date Swift's ex Harry Styles, fun fact—was in a rush to the main event as he was seen hustling through midtown Manhattan. 

She's got class all over her. The country singer—who appeared on the re-recording of Swift's Fearless album—sported a little black dress. 

For the model, it felt like a perfect night to dress up in a sparkling pink 'fit and watch her BFF get married. 

A simple tux never goes out of style for a wedding. The Silver Linings Playbook star was dressed to impress in the West Village. 

And we could tell you, Ballerini opted for green. The country star and longtime fan of Swift stepped out for the wedding. 

Quite the high profile date night. The "Drunk" singer headed to MSG alongside her husband. 

Besties with Swift since the singer sat in class next to a red-head named Abigail, a gilded Anderson attended with husband Charles Berard.

Swift's longtime publicist stunned in an off-the-shoulder neutral-hued gown. 

The singer came ready to see all the beautiful things at Swift and Kelce's nuptials.

The actor—who starred in Swift's "Fortnight" music video—arrived at MSG to celebrate the couple's love lasting far longer than a fortnight. 

After scoring coveted invites, the soccer star and her wife proved all their white diamonds and lovers are forever while walking into MSG. 

Feelin' so gorgeous. The "Undressed" singer shared a peek at his outfit on TikTok. 

So scarlet, it was maroon. Kelce's longtime pal sported a suit nodding to one of Swift's songs for the wedding. 

A little big moment. The Little Big Town singer went for something blue. 

Keeping it 100. The ESPN analyst and her husband stepped out in New York. 

Bet the cinematographer—who was the mastermind behind Swift's "I Bet You Think About Me" music video—and his wife will be thinking about this date night for years to come.

Big reputation. The sports analyst and her boyfriend were ready for the white veil occasion of the year. 

Walkin' through a crowd, the village was aglow for the Hogues, who are longtime pals of the Mahomes family.

The Seattle Seahawks wide receiver and his wife kicked off their date night in style.

Family that she chose. Kelce's aunt Joan and her husband Don were arm-in-arm en route the ceremony. 

The former NFL star shared a glimpse at his outfit for the white veil occasion on X, adding, "Not a lot going on at the moment."
