his message to the England team after their defeat against the Blues

It’s a gloomy day for the English. Saturday December 10, England was beaten 2-1 by the Blues on the lawn of Qatar during the quarter-finals of the Football World Cup. A disappointment for the Three Lions who hoped to win and go to the semi-finals, keeping hope after Harry Kane’s equalizer in the 54th minute. But it was without counting on the goal of Olivier Giroud in the 78th minute, while the English, they did not manage, thereafter, to score new goals to surpass the France team. A match that Prince William has surely attended from his home in Windsor, since he has been a football fan since childhood and a fervent supporter of Aston Villa, like several other members of the royal family, who would be particularly attached to Arsenal.

Discreet since the start of the World Cup in Qatar, where he did not go to attend England’s matches, Prince William did not hide his disappointment after the defeat of the Three Lions against the Blues. “Gareth, Harry, the whole England team and all his staff, i’m disgusted for all of you“he began in a message posted on his Twitter account. “You put so much into this tournament and we are all so proud of you. Lift your heads and see you for the next one”, he concluded, referring here to the next world football competition. A message signed with a W, sign that it is indeed His Royal Highness who wrote it.

William supported two teams

At the start of the World Cup, Prince William, now Prince of Wales, was asked by many journalists who he was supporting in the competition, as England and Wales faced each other in Group B. “I can’t lose”he had thus vaguely replied, before wishing, before the match, good luck to both teams. “Let the best win”, he wrote, while the Welsh were playing their first World Cup there since 1958, before leaving after the group stage. While Kate Middleton’s husband now hopes to see them again at Euro 2024, England is already thinking of “bringing football home” at the next competition.
