The Prince of Wales couldn't contain his excitement after England secured a thrilling victory against Switzerland in the latest Euro match.
In the tunnel post-game, Prince William, serving as the president of the FA, warmly embraced goal-scorer Bukayo Saka. Dressed in a navy suit adorned with a football-print tie, William enthusiastically congratulated the 22-year-old, who played a pivotal role with his stunning equalizer in a tense 1-1 draw.
Expressing his pride on social media, the Prince of Wales posted, "Nail-biting to the very end! Well done England, semi-finals here we come! #WeBelieve." William's passion for the game was evident throughout the match, from jubilantly celebrating England's crucial goal in the 80th minute to anxiously watching the game unfold, at times with his head in his hands.
Witnessing the match from the stands alongside UEFA President Alexander Čeferin, UEFA Deputy General Secretary Georgo Marti, and former Portugal ace Luis Figo, William was fully engrossed in the action. This match marked Gareth Southgate's 100th game in charge of the senior national team and his 24th at a major tournament as England manager, a record testament to his tenure.
Looking ahead, England's Euro journey continues with a semi-final clash against the Netherlands in Dortmund on Wednesday. The Dutch secured their place after defeating Turkey 2-1 on Saturday night, setting the stage for another thrilling encounter. Despite attending only a few Euro games this year, William was notably present during England's face-off against Denmark, where he exchanged friendly greetings with King Frederick of Denmark. Despite being on opposite sides for the match, William and Frederick shared moments of laughter and camaraderie, both enjoying the spectacle of the game.
