Ten-year-old Princess Charlotte, in fact, made a huge impression on the Kansas City Chiefs player and his big brother, Jason Kelce. "I gotta say, Prince William was fantastic, but the highlight was Princess Charlotte," Jason said on their "New Heights" podcast at the time. "Prince George was great too. She was so f–king adorable. Like, I cannot."

Travis added that Charlotte "was a superstar," while Jason said the princess "had fire to her. She was asking questions."

While the Duchess of Sussex isn't publicly known to be a Swiftie, she shared her support for the couple's engagement news on what was also a big day for her own brand. Meghan released season two of her Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, on Tuesday, along with dropping her As ever brand's new orange marmalade.
