Prince William and Kate Middleton won't be among the star-studded guests at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding after all.
PEOPLE understands that the Prince and Princess of Wales will not attend the couple's upcoming nuptials, ending weeks of speculation that intensified after William playfully hinted he was hoping for an invitation, the outlet writes.
The question came up during the Prince of Wales' appearance on Heart Breakfast in May, when co-host Amanda Holden asked whether he had received an invite to Swift and Kelce's wedding.
"No comment," William replied with a smile, prompting laughter in the studio.
"I'm hoping, and I'm sure there might be an invitation around, but we'll see," he added, fueling chatter that he and Kate, both 44, could make a surprise appearance at what is expected to be one of the biggest celebrity weddings of the year.
Prince William also said on the show that his children Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, were big fans of Swift, and that Charlotte, especially, was "obsessed."
While the Prince and Princess of Wales won't be attending the nuptials, the friendship between the future king and the global pop superstar stretches back more than a decade.
William first met Swift in 2013 at the Centrepoint Winter Whites Gala at Kensington Palace, where the pair famously joined Jon Bon Jovi onstage for an impromptu rendition of "Livin' on a Prayer."
More recently, Prince William celebrated his 42nd birthday by taking Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis to Swift's Eras Tour stop at Wembley Stadium in June 2024. The royal dad memorably danced in the stands to "Shake It Off."
After the show, Swift shared a backstage selfie with William, George and Charlotte, while Kelce also posed with the royal family in another photo that quickly went viral.
