It looks as though Prince Harry will soon get the chance to meet Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce.
The news comes after his brother, William, was spotted hanging out with the NFL star at Swift’s concert at Wembley.

Kelce posed with William, along with Prince George and Princess Charlotte, and later described the Prince of Wales as “the coolest motherf***er”. He also stated that “no other Prince” is doing it like William, which some felt was a bit of a dig at William.
Harry and Kelce to meet
Now, Harry and Kelce will get the chance to meet following news that the Duke of Sussex will be honored at the upcoming ESPY Awards in Los Angeles on July 11. He is set to receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service thanks to his work with the Invictus Games.
Given Kelce has reportedly been invited to the ceremony, it would set up a chance for the two to meet. Kelce could also take home an award, as his Kansas City Chiefs are nominated for best team of the year, while teammate Patrick Mahomes is up for best male athlete.
Swift also history with the Sussexes
While Kelce and Harry may cross paths at the ESPY Awards, Swift is no stranger to the Sussexes. That’s because she turned down the chance to appear on Meghan’s Archetypes podcast last year.
Meghan is expected to join Harry at the upcoming ceremony, with a source telling the Sun the two will likely be just feet away from Kelce.
“It could be interesting given how much Travis hit it off with William,” said the source
.
“Travis is like the most sociable, happy go lucky, kind person in any room and is sure to want to say hello to the Prince and interact with the Sussexes.
“That is his style, and honestly he is one of the biggest names in US sport.
“For Harry it could be a potentially awkward encounter given that Travis spoke so warmly about and praised William.
“This will make headlines no matter what happens.
“If Harry ducks Travis that would look weird and if they chat the question will be whether they discussed William.”
What is the Pat Tillman Award for Service?
The award has been handed out for the last 10 years and is “given to a person with a strong connection to sports who has served others in a way that echoes the legacy of the former NFL player and U.S. Army Ranger, Pat Tillman,” according to ESPN.
Harry will receive it “in honour of his tireless work in making a positive impact for the veteran community through the power of sport.”
He founded the Invictus Games a decade ago in order to support injured and sick servicemen and women who are both active and veterans.
