Prince William hinted he could attend Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s upcoming summer wedding during his appearance on Heart Breakfast this morning.
Speaking with presenters Jamie Theakston and Amanda Holden, the 43-year-old royal was asked directly whether he had received an invitation to the highly anticipated nuptials.
“No comment. I’m hoping and I’m sure there might be an invitation around but we’ll see,” William responded.
The 36-year-old pop star is set to wed the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, also 36, though neither has disclosed specifics about their ceremony.

Swift and Kelce revealed their engagement on Instagram last August with the caption: “Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married.”
William also used his radio appearance to request some Swift tracks for his young fans at home.
When Theakston asked which song he would like played for listeners, the prince suggested Taylor Swift, dedicating the choice to Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8.
“Charlotte, my daughter, and Louis, to be fair, Charlotte, particularly, is obsessed by Taylor Swift,” William explained.
The royal specifically asked for the track “Opalite” to be played for his self-confessed Swiftie children.

William’s connection to Swift extends beyond his children’s fandom, having attended her Eras Tour at Wembley Arena in June 2024 alongside Princess Charlotte and Prince George, now 12.
The concert fell on William’s birthday, and he described the experience as “amazing” during this morning’s broadcast.
“We were watching from up there, which is quite a long way from where the actual action is happening but the atmosphere was so incredible, you could actually feel the floors shaking when they were all dancing, it was brilliant,” he recalled.
The Royal Family members met Swift and Kelce backstage after the performance, posing for group selfies together.
William subsequently thanked the singer for “a great concert” via social media, while Swift posted her own photo with the birthday message: “Happy Bday M8. London shows are off to a splendid start.”
Swift and Kelce have maintained strict secrecy around their wedding arrangements since announcing their engagement.
The couple have offered only minimal glimpses into their planning, with Travis revealing during an appearance on his New Heights podcast in September that they favour live entertainment over a DJ.
“Yeah, I think we’re live music kind of people, you know?” the NFL star told guest Jimmy Fallon when asked about their reception plans.
Sources close to the pair indicated last autumn that the ceremony would be an intimate gathering rather than a lavish spectacle.
“It will definitely be a private affair and not a spectacle,” one insider told People, adding that both Swift and Kelce “have a close circle of friends, and they’ll respect their privacy.”
