The Royal We

The British royal discussed the World Cup, his love of soccer, and attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in 2024

Prince William popped by Travis and Jason Kelce‘s podcast New Heights, with the episode arriving only hours before the Kansas City Chiefs player’s big wedding to Taylor Swift.

In the 30-minute interview, William shared the origins of his love of soccer, attending Swift’s Eras Tour in 2024, and his thoughts on the World Cup so far. Travis opened the conversation by asking if it was William’s father, King Charles, who got him into soccer and Aston Villa FC. Absolutely not,” William replied. “My father hates football.”

He added that he’s been anticipating the World Cup “for a long time.” William, who has been involved with the Football Association for 20 years, said he is “quietly” hoping England will improve their current standing.
