<\/p>\nTravis Kelce\u00a0appears to have snubbed the opportunity to rub shoulders with royalty at the ESPYs, having not turned up to an event that\u00a0Prince Harry\u00a0And\u00a0Meghan Markle\u00a0graced with their presence. Reports had it that Kelce was invited to the star-studded ceremony, where the\u00a0Kansas City Chiefs\u00a0were up for Best Team.<\/p>\n
Prior to showtime, ESPN\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
It was left to head coach Andy Reid to pick up any awards, while Mahomes\u2019 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.<\/p>\n
Yet Kelce missed out on meeting Prince Harry at the Dolby Theatre bash in LA, just weeks after a warm encounter with his brother,\u00a0Prince William, at Taylor Swift\u2019s London gig \u2013 a meet-up Kelce recounted fondly on his \u2018New Heights\u2019 podcast: \u201cDude, he [Prince William] was the coolest mother \u2014\u2014.\u201d<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t realise this because obviously we were backstage meeting him because he was there with little George and Charlotte, and they were an absolute delight to meet. I wasn\u2019t sure if I was supposed to like bow to them, curtsy, just be an American idiot and shake their hand.<\/p>\n \u201cBut they said that because we weren\u2019t at like an official royal event, we didn\u2019t need to bow or curtsy. If it would have been like an official meeting of royalty event, then it would have been that. But I did still address him as Your Royal Highness.\u201d<\/p>\n Prince Harry was awarded the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the ESPY Awards<\/span>\u00a0(\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Kelce snapped a selfie with William and his two eldest kids, Charlotte and George, at the gig on June 21. Swift took to social media, posting: \u201cHappy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start.\u201d<\/p>\n The Prince and\u00a0Princess of Wales\u00a0shared their own message: \u201cThank you\u00a0Taylor Swift\u00a0for a great evening! #LondonTSTheErastour.\u201d<\/p>\n Yet, there was no rendezvous between Kelce and Harry, who was in town to receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service. When the chance of them crossing paths came up weeks before, an insider spilled to The Sun: \u201cIt could be interesting given how much Travis hit it off with William.\u201d<\/p>\n Prince Harry and Meghan Markle posed with Patrick Mahomes\u2019 mom and sister at the ESPY Awards<\/span>\u00a0(\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Kevin Mazur\/Getty Images for W+P)<\/span>\u201cTravis 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.\u201d\u201dThis will make headlines no matter what happens. If Harry ducks Travis that would look\u00a0weird\u00a0and if they chat the question will be whether they discussed William.\u201d<\/p>\n Despite the buzz, the two stars never crossed paths, although Kelce did get a shout-out during the ceremony, reports\u00a0the Mirror US.<\/p>\n During her opening monologue, host Serena Williams quipped about the year\u2019s sports highlights: \u201cPatrick Mahomes and Taylor Swift\u2019s boyfriend won a Super Bowl.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Travis Kelce\u00a0appears to have snubbed the opportunity to rub shoulders with royalty at the ESPYs, having not turned up to an event that\u00a0Prince Harry\u00a0And\u00a0Meghan Markle\u00a0graced with their presence.
