Kylie Kelce Apologizes to Kate Middleton After Podcast Shoutout: “Now I Know”
Kylie Kelce is setting the record straight after a recent Kate Middleton podcast invitation sparked an unexpected etiquette lesson. The Not Gonna Lie host and wife of former NFL star Jason Kelce apologized to Catherine, Princess of Wales, after learning that the way she addressed the royal during a recent episode was considered inappropriate. ([E!

She added that she now understood the issue and wanted to make sure she addressed people in a way that made them feel respected. Kylie then offered a direct apology to Catherine, saying she would correct the mistake moving forward. ([E! Online][1]) What Did Kylie Kelce Say About Kate Middleton? The situation began during the September 24 episode of Kylie’s podcast. While discussing footage of the royal participating in a Scottish sporting activity, Kylie invited the Princess of Wales to appear on Not Gonna Lie. She suggested that the two could talk about field hockey and motherhood, pointing out that they have some common interests. Kylie also referenced the connection between their husbands. Prince William previously appeared on New Heights, the podcast hosted by Jason Kelce and his brother, Travis Kelce. ([People.com][2]) However, Kylie referred to Catherine as “Princess Kate” and also used her former title, “Duchess of Cambridge,” prompting some listeners to point out the royal’s current title. Why Did Kylie Apologize? Catherine’s formal title is Catherine, Princess of Wales. She previously held the title Duchess of Cambridge following her 2011 marriage to Prince William. After Queen Elizabeth II’s death in 2022 and King Charles III’s accession to the throne, William became the Prince of Wales and Catherine became the Princess of Wales. ([Page Six][3]) Although “Kate Middleton” remains the name most people around the world recognize, Kylie said she wanted to respect how Catherine prefers to be addressed. “Princess Catherine, or the Princess of Wales, I apologize,” Kylie said, acknowledging that she had learned from the mistake. ([E! Online][1]) Kylie Kelce Still Wants Kate on Her Podcast Despite the awkward moment, Kylie hasn’t abandoned the idea of interviewing the royal. The podcast host said she would genuinely love to have a conversation with Catherine because of their shared interests and experiences. She specifically mentioned motherhood, field hockey and Catherine’s public journey as reasons she would enjoy speaking with her. At the same time, Kylie admitted she doesn’t realistically expect the Princess of Wales to make time for the invitation. “I don’t think anybody owes me anything,” she said, emphasizing that she understands how busy Catherine’s life is. ([E! Online][1]) Kylie Responds to Comments About Her Language Kylie also addressed another listener’s suggestion that she would need to change her behavior if Catherine ever accepted the invitation. Known for her casual and unfiltered podcast style, Kylie acknowledged that she enjoys using curse words but said she understands the importance of showing respect to the people around her. She made it clear that she wouldn’t simply behave the same way around a royal guest without considering the setting. A Lighthearted Royal Mix-Up Kylie’s apology appears to have turned a small naming mistake into another memorable moment for Not Gonna Lie. While the Kylie Kelce and Kate Middleton connection began as a playful podcast invitation, it ultimately highlighted the difference between the name the public commonly uses and Catherine’s formal royal title. For now, there is no indication that Catherine will actually appear on Kylie’s podcast. But if that invitation ever becomes reality, Kylie has already made one thing clear: she knows exactly how she plans to address the Princess of Wales.Source: E! Online.
