“It was a nice interaction,” Kelce, 36, tells PEOPLE. “They were lovely and it was surreal to even be in their presence.”

Travis further praised the royal's parenting, saying, "If anyone’s doing it right, Prince William's doing it right. So thank you, Your Royal Highness. It was awesome meeting you, and Charlotte and George."
