When Jason Kelce disses Prince William forward of his brother assembly him, he’s going to earn some new followers.
And, maybe, some Royalist critics.

Simply days earlier than Taylor (and Travis Kelce) met the Prince of Wales, Jason condemned monarchies.
Prince William obtained a royal diss from Jason Kelce
Typically, we have now no alternative however to stan.
On the Wednesday, June 19 episode of Travis and Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast, Jason stated some very appropriate issues concerning the monarchy.
And — to the shock of nobody accustomed to the retired Philadelphia Eagles participant — he didn’t mince phrases.
“I’m out on honoring kings,” Jason Kelce acknowledged pretty earlier than mentioning that it’s arguably a core idea behind the USA.
“Listen, we’re Americans,” he reasoned. “We don’t do royalty.”
Whereas America and its founding paperwork are riddled with quite a few flaws — from authorized ambiguities to systemic oppression to missing foresight — rejecting monarchy is one thing that US completely received proper.
Apparently, Travis wasn’t down with Jason dissing the monarchy
Slipping in a considerably crass joke, Jason Kelce then added: “F–k kings, but I wouldn’t mind [my wife] Kylie kneeling at my feet.” He additionally joked concerning the concept of individuals feeding him grapes.
For some motive, his brother Travis pushed again on his sentiment, nearly pleading: “Not ‘f–k kings.’”
It’s unclear why Travis Kelce pushed again on this, until it was anticipation of probably encountering royalty days later at Wembley Area. After all, Travis has been flawed about issues earlier than, so maybe he feels some sympathy for the UK establishment.
To be honest, Travis not pushing again would have meant showing to agree that — on the danger of placing phrases into Jason’s mouth — the monarchy makes the UK an objectively worse place.
And that would make issues awkward if he had been to fulfill a member of the British Royal household in particular person.
And, in fact, he did simply that. Travis ended up showing in an Instagram picture with Taylor Swift, Prince William, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George.
Monarchy’s Historical past With Taylor Swift
Prince William has met Taylor Swift earlier than — way back to 2013, in reality. It was arguably a a lot larger deal for Prince George and Princess Charlotte to get to look at Taylor carry out, to not point out the royal meet-and-greet.
And that is the place issues grow to be complicated. As a result of whereas Jason’s completely proper concerning the monarchy, that doesn’t imply that he — or anybody — is condemning this household for the circumstances of their delivery.
You may detest what somebody represents whereas acknowledging that particular person individuals appear to be very respectable. Perhaps not William or Charles and definitely not Andrew, however all of us hope that George and Charlotte had a stunning time.
