Prince Harry is set to come face-to-face with Taylor Swift's boyfriend after the NFL star raved about meeting Prince William.
The Duke of Sussex will be honoured with the Pat Tillman Award for Service for his work with the Invictus Games at the ESPY Awards on July 11.
The ESPYs are likely to set up an interesting moment with Travis Kelce, Swift's boyfriend, who has been invited to the ceremony according to reports.
Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs are nominated for best team of the year, while Patrick Mahomes is up for best male athlete.

Swift's boyfriend described William as “the coolest m**********r” after posing for a selfie with him, Prince George and Princess Charlotte at the Eras Tour in London last month.
He also said that “no other prince” is doing it like William, which some took to be a subtle dig at Harry.
Swift has a history with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex after she declined to appear on Meghan Markle’s Archetypes podcast in 2022.
Meghan is expected to join Harry at the star-studded event in Los Angeles, hosted by the couple's close friend and tennis star Serena Williams.

A source told The Sun that Harry will likely be "just feet away" from Kelce, adding: “It could be interesting given how much Travis hit it off with William.
"Travis is like the most sociable, happy-go-lucky, kind person in any room and is sure to want to say hello to the prince and interact with the Sussexes.
“That is his style, and honestly he is one of the biggest names in US sport.
"For Harry, it could be a potentially awkward encounter given that Travis spoke so warmly about and praised William.

"This will make headlines no matter what happens.
“If Harry ducks Travis that would look weird and if they chat the question will be whether they discussed William."
Prince Harry was offered the Pat Tillman Award "in honour of his tireless work in making a positive impact for the veteran community through the power of sport."
The duke founded the Invictus Games a decade ago to support injured and sick servicemen and women.
