And better yet, the Prince of Wales had royal company: King Frederik of Denmark was there to join his friendly footy foe in a nailbiter of a match which saw England, at time of publication, doing very well only to stall at one, all.

Prince William, who is president of the Football Association (FA), the ruling body for England’s soccer teams, watched his home side in their second group stage match at the Frankfurt Arena.

The trip is a solo one for William, as the Princess of Wales is away from public duties while she continues her treatment for cancer.

Prince William is one of hundreds of thousands of England fans travelling to Frankfurt throughout the Euro 2024 championship, which kicked off on 14 June.

Earlier today, cheering Three Lions fans turned Germany’s bars and fan zones into a sea of red and white for the clash with Denmark.
