Travis Kelce swerves chance to meet Meghan Markle and Prince Harry after making friends with William

Travis Kelce was reportedly invited to the ESPY Awards, where he would have had the chance to meet Prince Harry, but he ultimately decided not to attend the event

Travis Kelce appears to have snubbed the opportunity to rub shoulders with royalty at the ESPYs, having not turned up to an event that Prince Harry And Meghan Markle graced with their presence. Reports had it that Kelce was invited to the star-studded ceremony, where the Kansas City Chiefs were up for Best Team.

Prior to showtime, ESPN’s guest list did not feature Kelces name, confirming he chose to skip the glitzy award night. His teammate Patrick Mahomes also decided against attending, although he scooped the Best Athlete in Mens Sports accolade.

It was left to head coach Andy Reid to pick up any awards, while Mahomes’ representation came in the form of family, with mum Randi and sister Mia Randall there, who notably got snapped with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

Yet Kelce missed out on meeting Prince Harry at the Dolby Theatre bash in LA, just weeks after a warm encounter with his brother, Prince William, at Taylor Swift’s London gig – a meet-up Kelce recounted fondly on his ‘New Heights’ podcast: “Dude, he [Prince William] was the coolest mother ——.”
