PRINCESS Kate and Prince William have given Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce a sweet nod of approval after the couple announced their engagement.

Swifties were sent into meltdown on Tuesday when the pop icon announced her engagement to NFL star Travis.

Britain's Prince William, Prince of Wales (L) and Britain's Catherine, Princess of Wales arrive for a visit to Southport Community Centre in Southport, north west England on October 10, 2024, where they met rescue workers and the families of those caught up in the Southport knife attack earlier this year. Bebe King, six, Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven, and Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, all died in an attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in the town just oon July 29, which also left ten people injured, eight of them children.

The loved up stars have now got engaged

The blockbuster news was announced via Instagram, when Taylor posted a series of high-production engagement photos.

Travis was seen on one knee staring up adoringly at Taylor, the huge diamond ring, and a few very sweet pics of them cuddling up.

Millions across the world liked the post with William and Kate doing the same through their official Instagram account.

Wills has previously met the pop star with their children Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who are certified Swifties, suggesting they already have a close relationship.

They met Taylor and Travis, 35, backstage at one of her Eras Tour concerts in London last summer.

The future King celebrated his 42nd birthday at the concert in Wembley Stadium alongside his two eldest children, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, nine.

The official social media channels for the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a photo of the incredible moment William, George and Charlotte met the All Too Well singer just 25 minutes before she stepped on stage. 

Taylor was clearly delighted to meet the royals’ at the time, as she too shared a photo on her own social media account.

She was seen posing with the British royals alongside sports star Travis.

Referencing William’s birthday, Taylor captioned the image: “Happy Bday M8! London shows are off to a splendid start.”

In videos circulating online, William was seen busting out moves while Charlotte waved her hands in the air rocking a light-up bracelet. 

Charlotte wore a glittering pink dress, which is strikingly similar in style to one of the Princess of Wales’ most iconic dresses, which she wore back in 2011, for the ARK Gala dinner.

Alongside the Wales clan were William’s cousins, Mike and Zara Tindall.

The Tindalls were at the gig with their two daughters Mia, ten, and Lena, five, and were accompanied by their friend Natalie Pinkham.

As the concert came to a close, a source revealed that the royals made an early exit, leaving ten minutes before the end of the show to stay hidden from eager Swifties.

The source concluded: “They left around ten minutes before the end to miss the crowds. It was buzzing in their box, everyone was having such a brilliant time for Prince William’s birthday!”
