The Prince of Wales has penned a heartfelt message to England's 2024 Euro squad. Following Sunday night's game, which saw the team win 2-0 against Slovakia, the royal took to Instagram. "Emotional rollercoaster! Let's go @england! Quarter finals here we come! W," he penned on the platform.
Prince William, a passionate football fan and the President of the Football Association has been a pillar of support to the Three Lions in recent weeks.
After England captain, Harry Kane, and his squad ended on a 1-1 draw with Denmark in Frankfurt on Thursday 20 June, William headed to the team's dressing room for a pep talk.
Reflecting on the royal's visit, Midfielder Adam Wharton said: "He was just trying to keep us all positive. He was saying it's not the end of the world."
"We were thinking 'We're still top of the group, we didn't lose, we got a draw, we've just got to reflect on the game, see how we can get better and look forward to the next game.' That's all you can do in tournament football."
The future king, a passionate Aston Villa fan, presented shirts to the England men's squad before the team had left for the tournament, making a surprise visit to St George's Park, England's national football centre in Burton upon Trent.
William had made the trip solo as the Princess of Wales continues with her cancer treatment. The couple's three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, were also unable to join him on a school night.
