"That's right, the president of the English Football Association, the vice royal patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, the duke of Cambridge, the duke of Cornwall, the lord of the isles, prince and great steward of Scotland, earl of Chester, and the prince of Wales, 92%ers, please welcome his royal highness, Prince William."

The singer also has a history of performing alongside the prince at a charity gala in 2013.
"This podcast did a lot for me," Swift said. "It gave me a boyfriend!"
While the podcast discussion was expected to touch upon the World Cup, Prince William previously remained tight-lipped regarding his attendance at the actual wedding ceremony during a prior radio interview.
