Kylie Kelce Invites Catherine, Princess of Wales to Talk Field Hockey and Kids

Kylie Kelce has an open microphone for Catherine, Princess of Wales.

Kelce, who hosts the podcast Not Gonna Lie, made the offer in the latest episode after watching the princess and Prince William visit the Isle of Bute, an island off Scotland's west coast. The trip put Catherine on a field with a stick in her hands. She tried shinty, a fast traditional Scottish game played with curved sticks and a small ball.

Kelce liked what she saw. She said Catherine reminded everyone she is still an absolute boss at field hockey and looks beautiful doing it, as reported by Town & Country. Short and direct. That is the whole scouting report.

She knew the sport on display was shinty. She claimed it for field hockey anyway. Her logic was simple. Catherine is a field hockey player, so any stick skills count as a win for field hockey.

Then came the invitation. Kelce asked the princess to come on Not Gonna Lie to chitchat about field hockey and kids. She said they have a couple things in common. Both are mothers of young children. Both know life around team sports.

She closed it lightly. We'd love to have you, she said. No pressure.

Kelce pointed to a family connection to make the case. Prince William had already chitchatted with her husband on the other podcast, she said. She meant New Heights, the football and pop-culture show hosted by her husband, former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce, and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. William joined that show as a surprise guest, in an episode billed around England's World Cup talk and Travis at Wembley.

Kelce herself has not met the British royals. Her husband met William, Prince George and Princess Charlotte backstage during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour stop in London. That backstage hello remains the family's closest royal encounter.

Americans first met Catherine under her former title, Duchess of Cambridge. She became Princess of Wales in 2022 after King Charles III took the throne. The title goes to the wife of the heir to the throne, the person next in line under Britain's hereditary system.

What makes this stand out is the scale. No state visit. No palace sitting room. Just a podcast chat about sticks, practices and school runs.
