Prince William has rallied England ahead of their Euro 2024 final against Spain, urging the team to "go out there and show the world what you're made of." As the president of the Football Association, William will be in attendance at the final in Berlin, where England aims to secure their first major trophy since winning the World Cup in 1966.
A dedicated Aston Villa supporter, William has closely followed England's journey through the tournament, having attended their quarterfinal victory over Switzerland and the group-stage draw against Denmark. In a heartfelt social media message, he expressed pride in the team, saying, "We are so proud of you all England, just one last push to finish the job!"
Earlier this week, King Charles III also reached out to the players with encouragement, humorously suggesting that England should avoid any last-minute drama in the final. Following their semifinal victory over the Netherlands, where Ollie Watkins scored a late goal, the King conveyed the royal family's "very best wishes" and "warmest congratulations" to Gareth Southgate's squad.
Despite their recent successes, England has faced challenges in major tournaments, including a penalty shootout loss to Italy in the 2021 European Championship final. Under Southgate’s management, the Three Lions have experienced narrow defeats in the 2018 World Cup semifinal against Croatia and the 2022 World Cup quarterfinal against France, making the upcoming final even more significant for the team and their supporters.
