“Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married 🧨,” the couple said in a joint Instagram post alongside stunning engagement photos–and including a shot of Swift’s giant diamond ring.
Notably, the official Instagram account for the Prince and Princess of Wales “liked” the post, officially giving Kelce and Swift’s relationship update their royal stamp of approval.
Of course, Prince William and Middleton’s support of Swift’s upcoming marriage comes as no surprise to royal fans, as the British monarchy has publicly shared its adoration for the “Love Story” singer for years.
Prince George was spotted donning a friendship bracelet from one of Swift’s Eras Tour concerts in an Instagram photo for a Father’s Day post.
Additionally, Prince William spoke about the bracelets that Princess Charlotte helped make for the show they attended at Wembley Stadium, where the future king went viral for his energetic dancing to “Shake It Off.”
“This is a relic, if you like, from a Taylor Swift concert that my daughter decided that she wanted to create a bracelet for,” he said in November 2024, per People. “She gave it to me when I came away. So I promised that I’d wear it and try not to lose while I was out here.”
Swift even posted a selfie with the royal trio and Kelce in honor of their attending the Eras Tour show.
Not to mention King Charles III recently sent an unmistakable message about the pop superstar that turned heads.
Plus, the world won’t soon forget that time when Prince William and Swift joined Jon Bon Jovi on stage to sing “Livin’ on a Prayer.“
Who knows? Maybe some of the royal family will be invited to Swift and Kelce’s wedding!
