William and Frederik are football fans
Prince William had already visited the English team the week before their departure for Germany and also gave the players advice from his children. Prince Louis (6), the youngest of his three children, advised them to simply eat a double portion. “I then imagined you running around the pitch with huge, stinging bellies, so I think my youngest’s advice should perhaps be taken with a grain of salt,” joked William.
Frederik, who has been the new king of the Scandinavian country since the beginning of the year, has also already made his passion for football known. Before the Danish national team’s opening match, he wished the players luck and success. He also included two of his four children in the conversation.
