Prince William says his father, King Charles, “hates football,” a claim he makes on Travis Kelce’s podcast. The remarks come in a discussion that touches on the World Cup and England’s prospects. Both outlets report that William shares the comment during the podcast episode, which they describe as airing shortly before other major planned public moments involving William’s family. Vanguard adds timing context, stating the podcast appearance airs just hours before Kelce is scheduled to mark his marriage to pop star Taylor Swift, while The Punch focuses on the content of William’s statement and the football-related discussion. Neither source provides further detail on why King Charles feels that way, nor do they include direct comments from King Charles himself. The reports frame the statement as William’s personal disclosure rather than an official position by the palace. The accounts agree on the core points: the source is Prince William, the platform is Travis Kelce’s podcast, and the quoted line is that King Charles “hates football.”
