Prince William and Kate Middleton are among the millions rejoicing in the news of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement. After their joint Instagram post sharing snippets from the proposal went viral, eagle-eyed fans noticed members of the royal family showcasing their support for the couple by “liking the post.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media page and Meghan Markle’s personal Instagram account @meghan were the ones to tap on the post’s heart button. The future monarch and his wife would be among the lucky few to have witnessed the pair’s relationship first-hand, given their long-standing relationship.
The royal couple and their kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, featured in Swift’s Instagram post when they attended The Eras Tour in June 2024. The behind-the-scenes selfie of the group also featured the NFL star, reportedly indicative of the couple making their relationship Instagram official.
Previously, Kelce had also opened up about meeting the royals. In a June 2024 episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, the NFL player reflected on meeting with Prince William and the kids, and wondering whether to “bow,” or “curtsy,” or “just be an American idiot and shake their hand.”
Although it was anticipated, Swift and Kelce managed to surprise the world with their engagement announcement. They captioned their joint Instagram post, “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.” Celebrities, including Sabrina Carpenter, Gracie Abrams, and more, shared their wishes for the couple. As of this writing, the post has amassed over 26 million likes.
