Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding is the event of the summer, but Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton apparently won’t be among the guests in attendance.
Despite speculation about the royal couple possibly traveling from England to the United States for the upcoming nuptials, People reported on Tuesday, June 30, that William and Kate, both 44, will not be at the ceremony.
Us Weekly has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.
The Prince of Wales initially sparked interest as to whether he and Kate were on the coveted wedding guest list in May when he played coy about Swift, 36, and Kelce’s highly-anticipated nuptials.
When asked during an appearance on Heart Breakfast whether he’d received an invitation, William replied, “No comment.” He added a cheeky smile, which prompted the studio to break out into laughter.
“I’m hoping, and I’m sure there might be an invitation around, but we’ll see,” the prince added, adding fuel to the speculation that he and the Princess of Wales could make a surprise appearance at the U.S. ceremony rumored to be taking place at Madison Square Garden.
While William didn’t reveal any more information, he noted that his daughter, Princess Charlotte, was “obsessed” with Swift. (William and Kate share Charlotte, 11, and sons Prince George and Prince Louis.)
Although William and Kate appear to be staying put across the pond over the 4th of July weekend — Swift and Kelce’s wedding is reportedly taking place on the holiday weekend — William’s friendship with the Grammy winner goes back more than a decade.
The future king of England met Swift in 2013 at the Centrepoint Winter Whites Gala at Kensington Palace, where the duo joined Jon Bon Jovi onstage for an impromptu rendition of “Livin’ on a Prayer.”
When William celebrated his 42nd birthday in June 2024, he decided to do so in style by attending Swift’s Eras Tour with George, 12, and Charlotte at Wembley Stadium in London.

After the show, William and his eldest children hung out with Swift and Kelce, 36, who was also in the crowd.
“Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start,” Swift wrote via Instagram at the time, sharing a group selfie.
Although William and Swift’s friendship timeline won’t include her wedding, there are going to be plenty of A-listers supporting her when she says, “I do” with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
“I’m gonna go to Taylor’s wedding,” Suki Waterhouse told Variety in May, confirming she will be watching her longtime friend walk down the aisle.
Travis Kelce got the royal treatment at girlfriend Taylor Swift‘s Eras Tour in London on Friday, June 21 — and he’s spilling all the tea about meeting Prince William. “Dude, he was the coolest motherf–ker,” Travis, 34, said on his and brother Jason Kelce‘s “New Heights” podcast on Wednesday, June 26. “He was so cool!” […]
As the date approaches, however, little is known about who is for sure invited to the wedding and where it will be amid reports that the couple plan to get hitched at MSG in New York on Friday, July 3.
“Taylor and Travis told guests to be in NYC. No other location was provided,” a source exclusively told Us earlier this month, noting that invitees only know to be in the Big Apple on Thursday, July 2, and Friday.
A separate insider told Us that Swift and Kelce “really wanted their wedding in Rhode Island, and June 13 was the date, but security wouldn’t have worked because it could get out of hand with that kind of scale of an event.”
“Everything was being planned in Rhode Island,” the source added. “And so many people wanted to come that plans had to change because it became bigger.”
