Prince William reveals pre-birthday plans abroad - details

 

Kensington Palace has confirmed that the Prince of Wales will head to Germany to watch the England men's football team face Denmark in their second match of the Euro 2024 tournament.

The match at Frankfurt Arena on Thursday 20 June falls the day before his 42nd birthday.

Prince William, 41, who is president of the FA, will not be accompanied by his wife, the Princess of Wales, who is currently undergoing preventative chemotherapy for cancer.

He's unlikely to be joined by his children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis as the tournament falls during term time at Lambrook school.

Royal fans were delighted when George, who turns 11 in July, accompanied his parents to two England matches during Euro 2020 in 2021, including the nail-biting final where the Three Lions lost against Italy during a penalty shootout.

He is also an avid Aston Villa fan like his father William, and was spotted in the stands at their match against Lille OSC in the Europa Conference League at Villa Park in April.
