As an avid supporter of Aston Villa, Prince William has closely followed England’s journey throughout the tournament. He was present at their quarter-final victory against Switzerland and also witnessed their group-stage draw with Denmark, reported AFP.
In his message to the team, he emphasized, “go out there and show the world what you’re made of.”
The English squad will undoubtedly be motivated by the Prince’s words as they strive to make history and bring home the Euro 2024 title. The final against Spain promises to be an exciting and closely contested match, with both teams eager to prove their mettle on the international stage.
In a social media post on Saturday, he said: “We are so proud of you all England, just one last push to finish the job!

King Charles III recently used social media to express his hopes that England’s soccer team would steer clear of last-minute theatrics in their upcoming final match. His message came after the team’s thrilling 2-1 victory over the Netherlands in the semi-finals, secured by a late goal from Ollie Watkins.
In his post, the monarch conveyed “very best wishes” and “warmest congratulations” to the team and their manager, Gareth Southgate. The light-hearted remark about avoiding last-minute drama showcased the royal family’s support for the national team as they prepare for their crucial final match.
He added: “If I may encourage you to secure victory before the need for any last minute wonder-goals or another penalties drama, I am sure the stresses on the nation’s collective heart rate and blood pressure would be greatly alleviated! Good luck, England.”
England suffered a heartbreaking defeat against Italy in the penalty shootout during the 2021 European Championship final, extending their wait for a maiden title in this prestigious tournament.
Under Southgate’s leadership over the past eight years, the Three Lions have endured a series of close losses in major tournaments. In the 2018 World Cup, they were edged out by Croatia in the semi-final, while their 2022 World Cup campaign came to an end with a narrow defeat against France in the quarter-final.
