Prince William is going to attend the England football game against Denmark in Germany next week, says Kensington Palace.
He will be travelling to see England’s second group stage match, after the Three Lions kick off their Euro 2024 tournament against Serbia on Sunday.
The Denmark fixture will be played on Thursday 20 June in Frankfurt.
The Prince of Wales, president of the Football Association, visited the England team earlier this week and presented shirts to the 26 players in the squad.
Speaking at the St George’s Park training centre on Monday, Prince William said he had given the team some unorthodox advice.
He told the players that during the school run his son Prince Louis had said the England team should “eat twice the amount you normally would eat”.
“So I then had visions of all of you running around with massive great tummies and loads of stitches on the pitch, so I think maybe take my youngest’s advice with a pinch of salt.”
Prince William, an enthusiastic Aston Villa fan, brought his older son Prince George to the FA Cup Final last month, where he presented the trophy to Manchester United.
The prince’s father, King Charles, also appeared to have become interested in football punditry.
The King, who supports Burnley, appeared to be sharing his thoughts on England’s chances with David Beckham, at an event at St James’s Palace on Tuesday evening.
After England’s faltering preparations, and a loss against Iceland, Beckham had said they were only “warming up”.
Diplomatically, the King said: “You don’t want to expend it all in one go at the beginning.”
