Prince William tonight declared England's back from the dead win over Slovakia as an 'emotional rollercoaster'.
The Prince of Wales sent his congratulations to Gareth Southgate's men after the Three Lions sealed their place in the quarter finals of the Euros with a dramatic 2-1 win after extra time against the minnows.
In a post on X/ Twitter alongside a picture of Jude Bellingham kissing Harry Kane's forehead, William, a keen football fan and President of the FA, wrote a jubilant message that read: 'Emotional rollercoaster! Let's go! Quarter finals here we come! W.'
Captain Kane headed the winner after a massive scare against Slovakia.England looked on the brink of an embarrassing Euros exit in Gelsenkirchen, only for Bellingham's spectacular overhead kick to salvage an equaliser deep into stoppage-time.
And skipper Kane delighted the England fans who made up the majority inside Gelsenkirchen's 60,000-capacity Arena AufSchalke with the decisive goal - as the Three Lions turned their Round of 16 showdown on its head in 196 seconds.
It sets up England for a quarter-final clash with Switzerland on Saturday in Dusseldorf and eases some of the pressure on beleaguered boss Southgate.
William last week flew out to Germany to watch England's below-par performance in a 1-1 draw with Denmark.
The future king headed to the dressing room at the final whistle in Waldstadion last Thursday to give the England squad some calming words of encouragement and to lift the team's spirits.
