Prince William makes a surprise appearance on the New Heights podcast, hosted by NFL players Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, in an episode that airs around the same time Travis Kelce is expected to marry pop star Taylor Swift. During the conversation, William discusses football and England’s World Cup campaign. He says his father, King Charles, “hates football,” describing it when asked whether Charles influenced William’s interest in the sport. The chat also focuses on England’s matches at the tournament in the United States. William indicates he would travel to the competition if England reaches the final. England’s progress is discussed in the context of their qualification stage, and the next scheduled match is presented as a round-of-16 game against Mexico at Azteca Stadium. William also responds to questions about whether he would “cross the pond” for the final, saying he would definitely attend if England plays. The interview comes during U.S. Independence Day celebrations and references the 250-year anniversary of independence.
