Will Prince William (41) come to Germany to cheer on the English national team at the European Championships? This is at least what Harry Kane (30), the captain of the Three Lions, suggested. “I think he will try to go to some games if possible, if the schedule allows it,” said the Bayern Munich star According to the Daily Mail, the heir to the throne is a “huge football fan”. He not only attends games of his favorite club, Aston Villa, but also of the national team.
According to Harry Kane, William’s three children are also fans. “They will remember their first or second tournament, just like I did when I was younger,” said the striker. “He will stay in touch, especially with the coach and some of the players, and make sure we do a good job,” Kane continued. Prince William is not only a fan, but also an official as president of the FA.
Prince William at training camp – with funny tip from Louis
First, Prince William visited the English team at their training camp in Burton-on-Trent. The heir to the throne stopped by on Tuesday morning before the English team flew to Germany.
Before his visit, Prince William apparently sought advice from experts. When he drove his children to school in the morning, he asked them for any advice they could give the Three Lions. The best tip came from Prince Louis (6). The players should simply eat twice as much as usual.
“Now I imagine you running around the field with big bellies and needing stitches,” said William according to British media. “So take my youngest’s advice with a grain of salt, especially in the physical area.” “I don’t think the nutritionist was very happy with that advice,” Harry Kane is said to have replied, laughing.
After Prince William’s visit, the English team took off for Germany. In the evening, Harry Kane and Co. moved into their quarters in Blankenhain, Thuringia. On Sunday, June 16, the English team’s first game against Serbia is scheduled for Gelsenkirchen. It remains to be seen whether Prince William will be there to cheer for the team in person at Schalke.
