Kylie Kelce is Philly royalty, and now she knows how to address the Princess of Wales
Instead of using her formal title, “Catherine, Princess of Wales,” the Narberth native called the future queen “Princess Kate”
Kylie Kelce and Catherine, Princess of Wales have a lot in common. Both women played field hockey, are mothers to young children, and are in the public eye alongside their husbands. However, when it comes to royal formalities and etiquette, that may be where the similarities end.
In the most recent episode of her podcast, Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce, the Narberth native addressed a flub she made in a past episode when she invited the Princess of Wales, who’s also known as Kate Middleton, onto the show.
“Princess Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, if you ever wanted to come on and chitchat about some field hockey and maybe kids. I don’t know. We got a couple things in common,” Kelce said in the Sept. 24 episode.
Unbeknownst to her, Kate Middleton’s formal title is Catherine, Princess of Wales.
Listeners were sure to point out her mistake, with Kelce apologizing in the “rage bait” section of the episode. One commenter wrote that Kelce would need to “clean up her act” in terms of language if the Princess of Wales were to join her for a conversation. And Kelce did not dispute it.
“First of all, you’re correct. … Agreed,” she said.

Despite this, Kelce acknowledged that she knows when to tone it down.
“Would I curse at her face? No,” she said. “Here’s the thing. I love curse words. I love it so, so much. I love curse words. You guys know that. But at the end of the day, I am respectful of the situations that I am put in, at least being respectful to the people I am speaking to.”
She went on to apologize to Catherine, saying that she always wishes to respect people’s chosen names.
As for a future collaboration? The offer still stands.
“I would love to speak to the Princess of Wales, OK?” Kelce said. “Because of many reasons. She is an incredible woman. She has children. She played field hockey. She battled cancer. There are so many things that I would love to speak to her about.”
It was a blowout, and it left a lot of questions. The Eagles’ 27-7 loss to the Bears Monday night at Soldier Field featured an offense that fizzled, a defense that folded, and a coaching staff that looked outmatched. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane and Jeff Neiburg provide a postmortem of the defense’s disappointing start to the season, critique of offensive coordinator Sean Mannion’s approach, and assessment of how some of general manager Howie Roseman’s moves have panned out so far.
