During the episode, he named Harry Kane among his “Mount Rushmore” of greatest England players and admitted he was “quietly confident” about the team’s chances in the World Cup.
However, he described how he gets “really down” and wants to shut himself away for days when they lose, acknowledging that “a little bit of hope gets chipped away each time” they exit a tournament.
The Prince also joked that his father, the King, “hated” football, explaining that his love of the sport was not passed down through generations of the Royal family.
Kelce gave the game away about his secret meeting with the royals in his introduction to the special episode, when he told the Prince: “I got the chance to see you not too long ago and invited you on the show because we were talking a little Aston Villa soccer, some excitement about the World Cup.”
The trio went on to engage in a lengthy football-related discussion covering everything from the merits of VAR to “pretty spicy” England football chants, the differences between British and American beer and the size of their stadiums.
The Prince also hailed the UK’s 250-year-old “brotherhood” with the US and vowed to fly over for the final if England made it that far.
A long-term fan of Swift, the Prince has met the US pop star a number of times over the years.
In 2024, he was spotted at one of her Wembley gigs with his children, dancing wildly in a private box to the singer’s hit single Shake It Off. The Princess did not join them for the concert, and has not previously been confirmed to have met the singer.
But his relationship with the singer dates back to 2013, when he followed her onto the stage “like a puppy” to join both her and Jon Bon Jovi in a rendition of Livin’ On A Prayer at a charity fundraiser.
