Prince William says he tried to keep Travis Kelce out of Instagram photo with Taylor Swift
Prince William told The Graham Norton Show that he attempted to remove NFL player Travis Kelke from a photo taken with Taylor Swift and his children after her London concert, not realizing its later significance.
Prince William revealed on The Graham Norton Show that he tried to exclude Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce from a photo taken with pop star Taylor Swift and the prince's children after Swift's Eras Tour concert in London. The image, posted by Swift on Instagram, became the first joint picture the couple shared on social media.
"I hadn't appreciated the significance," the prince said, citing Pete Grathoff of The Kansas City Star. "And actually — I was trying to move him out of the photo."
He added that he intended the picture to feature only Swift and his children, but Kelce repeatedly re-entered the frame.
"Travis kept coming back in, and I couldn't work out why he kept coming back in," William said. "I was trying to move him out so it was just me and Taylor and the children."
The prince noted the difficulty of keeping the 6-foot-5, 230-pound athlete out of the shot, despite his own height of 6-foot-3.
