Since pop superstar Taylor Swift (36) and Travis Kelce (36) publicly announced their engagement in summer 2025, countless speculations have surrounded the couple's upcoming wedding. Now, U.S. media are reporting two very special rumors. The U.S. pop queen is allegedly getting married in her own castle, but British heir to the throne Prince William (44) and his wife, Princess Kate (44), are reportedly not traveling to the wedding.
The Police Sources and the Newly Built Castle
For some time now, there has been speculation that Swift and Kelce will celebrate their wedding on July 3 at the world-famous Madison Square Garden. "CBS News" now claims to know how the celebration will roughly unfold. The news division of CBS reports that a rehearsal dinner is scheduled to take place Thursday evening at the arena's Infosys Theater for around 100 invited guests. The wedding celebration itself is then allegedly set to take place on Friday - with a good 1,000 guests and lasting into the early morning hours. There's talk of up to 4:00 a.m. on Saturday. This information allegedly came from two anonymous police sources who are said to be familiar with the security planning for the event.
Legendary fairy-tale castles like Neuschwanstein don't exist in and around Madison Square Garden, of course. So why not simply build your own magnificent structure for the celebrity wedding of the year? U.S. celebrity portal "TMZ" reports that this is exactly what is allegedly happening right now. Insiders from the wedding circle have reportedly explained that a huge castle is being built inside the arena - a kind of fairy-tale world is said to be emerging.
No Meeting With the British Royals
Swift and her fiancé Kelce are sometimes celebrated by fans and U.S. media like a queen and king, but a meeting with members of the British royal family will probably not happen during the wedding, even though there had been corresponding speculation beforehand. Prince William and Princess Kate will not be attending the celebration, as magazine "People" claims to have learned.
Just in May, the eldest son of King Charles III (77) had fueled the rumors himself. As a guest on the British radio program "Heart Breakfast", he was asked about a big wedding coming up in the summer. When asked if he had received an invitation, he was mysterious. "No comment," the heir to the throne laughed. He added: "I hope so - and I'm sure that maybe there's an invitation floating around somewhere. We'll see."
William's daughter Charlotte in particular is considered a huge Swiftie, that is, a fan of the singer. On his 42nd birthday, the heir to the throne attended a concert by the singer in London together with Charlotte and her brother George. The trio not only celebrated during the concert but also met the singer backstage. Swift published a selfie with the royals and Kelce on Instagram. She casually wished her "M8" William a happy birthday. The abbreviation typically stands for "mate," an expression commonly used in Britain for "pal" or "friend."
