Kylie Kelce has issued an apology to Kate Middleton after making a royal mistake.
The wife of former Philadelphia Eagles star and current TV analyst Jason Kelce apologized to the future queen on Thursday after realizing she had incorrectly addressed the Princess of Wales on a recent episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast.
Kylie, 34, had referred to Middleton as “Princess Kate” when she invited her onto the show to talk about motherhood and field hockey.
And apparently that’s a little too informal for royal standards.
Kylie Kelce brushes up on royal etiquette after Kate Middleton mistake
On the Thursday, Oct. 1 episode of her podcast, Kylie acknowledged that she has since learned the proper way to address Middleton. She should be referred to as “Princess Catherine” or the “Princess of Wales,” Kylie said, while also making it clear that no disrespect was intended.
The former NFL WAG said she wanted to be respectful going forward and seemed amused that her casual choice of words had turned into a big lesson in royal etiquette.
“I love learning, so I was unaware that calling Princess Catherine, Princess Kate was offensive,” Kylie said.

“I didn’t know that. Now I know that. Now I will proceed accordingly,” she continued. “I apologize for the mistake. I would like to refer to people in the most respectful way and how they feel respected.”
She then issued a direct apology, saying, “Princess Catherine, or the Princess of Wales, I apologize. I will get that sorted immediately starting now.”
The original invite came after Kylie saw the Princess of Wales show off her athletic side during a royal engagement in Scotland.
The “Not Gonna Lie” host and mother of four, who was a former field hockey player herself, praised Middleton’s athleticism and floated the idea of having her on the podcast to talk sports and kids.
The Princess of Wales is yet to respond to Kylie’s offer to appear on the show.
However, if she say’s yes, it wouldn’t be the first royal connection for the Kelce family.
Jason and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, previously talked to Prince William on their “New Heights” podcast. They also met the Prince of Wales backstage at Taylor Swift’s London Eras Tour concert in 2024.
