LONDON – People all over the internet are talking about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s engagement, and it looks like the enthusiasm has even crossed the ocean. The official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales was one of several famous accounts that “liked” the couple’s engagement announcement post. This made fans very happy and caused a social media frenzy.
Fans instantly noticed the British royals’ modest reaction and turned to social media to share their happiness. People on other platforms said things like “British royals blessed American royals” and “Oh, this is about to be bigger than Charles and Diana’s wedding.” A lot of people said that the royal family’s stamp of approval shows how important the celebrity pair is around the world.
It’s not too surprising that they “like” one other, as the British royal family and the American power couple have been becoming closer. Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte met Swift and Kelce backstage at an Eras Tour concert in London in June 2024. Swift later posted a selfie with the three of them and Kelce, which made her connection with the NFL player “Instagram official.” At a charity function, Prince William famously sang “Livin’ on a Prayer” alongside Swift and Jon Bon Jovi.
The royal family’s quiet support of the Swift-Kelce courtship adds to the storybook quality of their relationship. Fans and followers of the pair are excitedly waiting for news about their wedding now that they are engaged. Some have even joked that they hope it will be a “royal wedding” on TV.
