This morning, the Prince of Wales, who is President of the FA, visited the England men’s football team to wish them good luck ahead of their UEFA European Football Championship. He had some very important advice from his youngest son, Prince Louis, to deliver to the English football team before they head for the continent for the 2024 Euros.

Surprisingly, the young royal urged The Three Lions to eat double portions ahead of the matches to help them storm to victory. Traveling to St. George’s Park, William chatted with manager Gareth Southgate and handed each player their squad number shirt before they kick off their campaign against Serbia on Sunday night. Speaking with the team, Prince William said, “I was on the school run this morning and I asked the kids what should I say to the England team today? The best bit of advice I got was to eat twice the amount you would normally eat.” William added, laughing, that he imagined the players running around with huge bellies and stitches, suggesting that they might want to take Louis’s advice with a grain of salt.

However, when asked about Louis’s suggestion to eat twice as much food to prepare for the tournament, England Captain Harry Kane responded with good humor, noting that their nutritionist might not appreciate such advice. William, as President of the Football Association, has often shared his love of football with Louis’s older brother and his heir, Prince George. The heir to the throne is an avid football fan and, along with his eldest son, Prince George, has been seen at various football matches over the years.

The 10-year-old accompanied his father to the FA Cup final at Wembley Stadium last month, where Manchester United claimed victory over Manchester City. William has also taken George with him to watch his beloved Aston Villa play at Villa Park, where the home team triumphed over Lille OSC in the Europa Conference League. It seems that William is sharing his passion for Villa with his oldest son, who was seen wearing the home team’s scarf and applauding and smiling as Aston Villa scored.

Royal fans gushed over George and his father at Wembley, with one X user writing, “Two future kings of England. George is looking like his dad and the Spencer side of his family.” George’s maturity also shone through as he was seen exchanging a few words with Man City manager Pep Guardiola and also spoke briefly with Sir Alex Ferguson. One person wrote on X, “I was just so impressed with Prince George today. For a child of only 10 years old, he is so mature, poised, and disciplined. Prince William and his lovely wife deserve so much credit for raising such a wonderful little boy.”

Prince William has also been open about his appreciation for the sport. During a previous chat with footballers Harry Kane and Declan Rice, the prince revealed that he has football to thank for some of his closest friends, telling the sportsmen that he has a lot of friends he met through playing football in his youth. “Some of the greatest friendships are born from playing games, being pushed together slightly in adversity,” he continued.

Princess Katherine’s husband continued, “Playing huge games of football are some of my fondest memories from childhood.” He recalled playing four simultaneous games of football with his entire set at school, around 60 pupils using multiple balls. “The sheer size and scale and just the fun of everyone running around chasing each other—I loved it,” he recalled. “I was a defender and I was stuck in the back and told to just tackle.”
