Prince William jokes about moving Travis Kelce out of selfie

Prince William has revealed he attempted to move Taylor Swift’s husband, Travis Kelce, out of a viral selfie taken with the singer and his children at her 2024 Eras Tour concert at Wembley ^[1]. The Prince of Wales, 44, made the confession during a surprise appearance on Friday’s episode of The Graham Norton Show, where he admitted he was unaware at the time that Swift had not yet officially confirmed her relationship with Kelce ^[2].

Recalling the moment, William said he was bemused by Kelce’s repeated attempts to rejoin the photo. He described trying to adjust the composition so the image included only Taylor Swift, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte, adding that he had not appreciated the photo’s significance until recently ^[1].

The incident marks a light-hearted moment in a broader conversation where William opened up about his children’s obsession with the BBC’s The Celebrity Traitors, admitting he once pranked Ross Kemp after seeing him react nervously to the show’s suspense ^[1]. He also revealed past career ambitions, including a brief stint wanting to be a DJ—earning the nickname 'DJ Xara'—and even considering a police career before accepting his royal duties ^[2].

William’s appearance, intended to promote his Earthshot Prize, was widely praised for its authenticity. Fans described it as 'a bit of fresh air' and highlighted the 'feeling of normalcy' he brought to the chat show format ^[1]. He is only the second future British monarch to appear on a TV chat show sofa, following his father, King Charles ^[2]. The story was first reported by Daily Mail and Daily Mail Showbiz.
