Prince William has expressed hope for an invitation to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's upcoming wedding, while guests of the high-profile couple face controversy over the event's guest policies.
Prince William’s Interest in Attending
During an appearance on the British radio show "Heart Breakfast," Prince William requested that the hosts play Swift’s song "Opalite" for his children. When asked about attending Swift and Kelce’s wedding, he replied, "I’m hoping, and I’m sure there might be an invitation around, but we’ll see." The exact date and venue of the wedding have not been publicly confirmed, though reports suggest it will take place in New York City on July 3.
Guest Controversy Over Plus-One Policy
Some guests invited to Swift and Kelce’s wedding have expressed frustration over the couple’s decision to restrict certain attendees from bringing a plus-one. One unnamed guest told the Daily Mail, "My invite did not let me bring a plus one. I mean, what am I supposed to do? Go alone? That is so awkward." The guest added that they may not attend due to the policy, stating, "I may sit this one out because I am shy." Others noted that some guests, such as Selena Gomez, were allowed to bring a plus-one, creating perceived inequity.
Security and Venue Speculation
The wedding venue remains undisclosed, with guests expected to receive the location details on the morning of the event. One guest speculated that the wedding might take place at a high-security venue like the Waldorf Astoria New York. Swift and Kelce announced their engagement in August 2023, with Swift captioning the announcement, "Your English teacher and your gym teacher are getting married." Prince William also shared that his daughter, Princess Charlotte, is a fan of Swift’s music.
