We absolutely can! I am morally opposed to billionaires and trillionaires, no matter the gender. But given this is a thread about Taylor, let’s keep it on topic eh?

It’s not a thread about Taylor. It’s a thread about PW’s appearance on the Kelce brothers’ podcast to talk about football during the World Cup which is being held in North America.

The point is, you have to contextualise it. It’s not the same as someone doing a massive amount of work to fundraise a huge amount of money. It’s a drop in the ocean and was announced when her reputation had taken a hit because she was being criticised for her actions.

Like calls to like though, so maybe it’s no wonder William is called to them.

Drop in the ocean to her. Incredible support for good causes.

I don’t think it’s creative, it’s just basic morals from some of us.

Taylor (and by connection, Travis), have been under fire lately for a multitude of things. Including cosying up to Trump and aligning themselves with MAGAts, and excessive private jet use. I think those are valid criticisms and I do wonder why William decided to endorse that. Especially when there are multiple British football podcasts he could’ve gone on!

Travis is not Taylor though. Appearing on a podcast with Travis is no more an endorsement of Taylor than having William as a guest is an endorsement of Harry or Andrew. What do you mean, aligning themselves with MAGA?

Oh right. Cos you said

you have to contextualise it

But doing that and pointing out the differences is 'going off topic'. Gotcha. Please direct me to your thread criticising male billionaires and I'll join you there.

Absolutely this x 💯

That is a huge amount of money to donate to causes, good on them.
Her own wealth is hard earned and hard fought for. Hats off to her.

I’m another who is very interested and would like more detail on the ‘cosying up to Trump’ and ‘aligning with MAGA’s’, that seems very out of character. Likely nothing more than idle speculation/chit chat. 🤷‍♀️

Trump insulted the UK straight after the last State visit, implying we are going to hell, that Sadiq Khan is introducing Sharia law to London, attacked our policy on renewable energy and as part of NATO we stood back in Afghanistan
Not sure the charm offensive worked!

Doesn't matter what he says. Diplomatically - the trade deals are far more important.

Trump talks shit because he's an idiot. Barely anyone is influenced by that - except those who denigrate the UK anyway. And I pay zero attention to Farage and Tommy ten names anyway.

Taylor was spotted in public talking to the wife of Kelce's teammate, she is apparently a Trump fan.

Thats it AFAIK

Oh, I think Travis said getting an invitation to the WH was always an honour, regardless of who the POTUS was.

Thanks @MrsFinkelstein

If it’s for the reasons that you mentioned, then it seems to be a bit of a nothing burger. I certainly wouldn’t take it as a sign anyone was ‘cosying up to Trump’ or ‘aligning themselves with MAGA’s’. In fact I’d say Travis comment was the opposite of cosying up.

Maybe there is more to it and @iamfrustrated will come back and tell us? 🤷‍♀️

I think, in general, when you’re a member of the royal family you should at least be aware of what is being said before you endorse someone. Taylor Swift has come under a huge amount of criticism for a lot of different things lately. I’m not sure I’d want to be associated with that if I was as high profile as William, is all.

My recommendation is that you don’t be associated with Taylor Swift. And especially turn down the request to be her husband’s podcast.

You have unfortunately associated yourself here with people who are talking about them all so I’m afraid your reputation may already be badly tarnished, though.

Cathy , I respect and what is more, I genuinely like you and consider you a friend, this thread is not for you , it is not compatible with your real republican views and that is ok , sometimes things are not for all of us .

@jeffgoldblum do you work for mn hq?

Love the idea that William shouldn’t have done the Kelce brothers’ podcast because they play a different sport and the fiancé of one of them uses private jets. Apparently this podcast about sport was really an endorsement of Taylor? And it was really bad because they used some of his titles in the intro, but not all? But the titles were made up, but then again they weren’t? The criticisms of William get ever more creative, it’s almost as entertaining as watching the Sussexes’ PR “strategy”.

And the Kelce brothers (one now married to someone who is wealthier and more well known worldwide than William) are sycophants.

Prince William appearing on a podcast in the US to talk about football is a reasonable thing to do, given that football was codified in England and his known support for Aston Villa (who have won a trophy more recently than many of the Premier League teams some US people follow).

Whether or not he picked the best one or the most appropriate is reasonable to discuss.

What would make this one not appropriate?
Is there a better one out there?

(please don’t say James Corden on Fox Sports 😬).

Obviously not , but as a longtime and regular poster on this board, I don’t like @CathyorClaire, another longtime poster I consider my friend, put herself in a position where she may be attacked or get unkind comments from others.🤷‍♀️

ABitFab · 04/07/2026 12:32

So fun 🤩

simpsonthecat · 04/07/2026 12:33

Surely that's for @CathyorClaire to decide. She's an adult and quite capable of making her own decisions!
As a friend I would have thought it far nicer to have messaged her in private if you are worried about her, rather than post telling her the thread is not for her 😮😮

Perhaps you should mind your own business! 🤷‍♀️

simpsonthecat · 04/07/2026 12:50

Maybe you should've private messaged her then, instead of posting on a thread for all to read. 🤷‍♂️

I’m sorry, I’d really like to get back on topic now.

Did you watch the podcast? Read any of the comments below it?

Maybe instead of highlighting and prolonging a post from last night that you clearly had no opinion on at the time, you should stop trying to be an expert on what other posters do! 🤷‍♀️
its clearly none of your business, so I don’t know why you are inserting yourself.

I don’t think my comment was vitriol.

My issue is more with how T&T portray themselves. I personally think the act of shutting down a huge chunk of NYC, including public transportation facilities, is a gross display of wealth. To then have a large part of the city facing a blackout (and NYC citizens were warned to moderate energy use to stop this!), and your wedding is going ahead and likely being prioritised, is wrong imo. The criticism of Taylor especially has been ongoing for a while - including her private jet use. Quite ironic for William, who paints himself as a climate activist.

Travis is a sportsman, yes, but he plays American football. Not football. So I don’t see why he would be the obvious first choice for a football chat?!

That’s a good point about Williams climate activism when Taylor clearly doesn’t think much about climate change with her own carbon footprint from private jet use and moving her stage all around the world on her very large Eras tour.

The Royals are all about PR though, they have to be. Taylor and Travis are popular and William will use that.

It’s all a bit ick, but not surprising.

I like Taylor, and tbf to her, she doesn’t preach about climate change to us and then go and do something different so that is fair enough. William looks very hypocritical. I think he has used private jets, he definitely uses helicopters a lot and is now getting pally with Taylor and her new husband, who couldn’t give a shite about the environment, all for clicks and likes. Ick!

simpsonthecat · 04/07/2026 12:57

I watch a lot of cooking and BBQ footage and would you believe it I saw them in a supermarket can't remember which one.
We're getting very Americanised!

I find it interesting that William and Kelce between them managed to swerve the conversation away from the English fans chants, that's a bit of a hot potato 🤣

simpsonthecat · 04/07/2026 12:59

JeffG I saw it first thing this morning and was 😮 and someone had quoted and just commented on it now hence my post.
