Another day, another update on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rumoured wedding. As the clock is ticking, the preparations are underway with the pop sensation also deciding on whether to keep the guest list restricted or not. Well, new reports suggest that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may not get an invitation to the wedding and there is a reason for it.
The buzz around the guest list for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s rumoured wedding began after Hollywood and royal commentator Rob Shuter quoted an unnamed insider on his Substack.
Why Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Are Not Invited
According to the source as quoted in the report, “Taylor wants to look around the room and recognise every face.” The source added that the singer “doesn’t want people there simply because they’re famous.”
It is only due to their preference for privacy and close knit celebration that Harry and Meghan, along with other high-profile figures such as George and Amal Clooney, Oprah Winfrey, and Barack Obama, have not been invited, as the report suggests.
As another source said, “Taylor wants memories with friends and family. The last thing she wants is for people to wonder who was invited for publicity.”
Reference To Meghan Markle, Prince Harry’s Royal Wedding
For her wedding, Swift has reportedly referred to many celebrities, including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s. Reports suggest that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s 2018 royal wedding stood out to the singer while she planned her own ceremony.
Rob Shuter, on Substack, also quoted the source as saying that the pop icon has “no interest in turning her wedding into a power summit.” The insider added that she wants “a celebration, not a networking event.”
Taylor Swift And Prince William Friendship
Swift’s long-standing public friendship with Prince William, Harry’s older brother, is no secret. The pair shared the stage with Jon Bon Jovi during the Centrepoint Winter Whites Gala in 2013. Together, they performed Livin’ on a Prayer at the event.
Almost a decade later, Prince William was also spotted enjoying Swift’s Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium in 2024 with Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Several photos featuring Swift, Kelce and the royals as the group posed backstage went viral online.
The speculation around Harry and Meghan not making it to the guest list of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at their wedding comes shortly after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were absent from Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s wedding celebrations in Gloucestershire earlier this month.
