The atmosphere of anticipation can be felt across England as the Band of the Grenadier Guards treated onlookers outside Buckingham Palace to a rendition of “Three Lions” on Friday. The iconic song, originally released in 1996, has become synonymous with English soccer and is a favorite among fans. With lyrics like “It’s coming home / It’s coming home / It’s coming / Football’s coming home,” the tune has become a stadium chant and a rallying cry for supporters of the national team.
While Prince William is confirmed to be attending the EURO final, speculation is rife as to whether he will be accompanied by his wife, Kate Middleton, and their children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. The royal family has previously shown their support for the Lionesses, with Prince William even describing Princess Charlotte as a promising soccer player during a visit to the team in 2022.
Prince William’s passion for soccer extends beyond the national team, as he is a devoted fan of the English Premier League club Aston Villa F.C. In a recent interview, he shared his superstitions when watching matches at home with his children. “If we’re not doing very well, I start moving round the house quite quickly and I put the children in different positions, hoping that’s going to change our luck,” he revealed, highlighting the fun and family-oriented aspect of his fandom.
As the Lionesses gear up to defend their EURO title, Prince William has been a constant presence in showing his support for the team. From visiting the squad at St. George’s Park before their departure to attending their match against the Netherlands earlier this month in Switzerland, the prince is fully invested in the success of the national team. His dedication to supporting English soccer at all levels reflects his genuine love for the sport and his desire to see the team excel on the international stage.
With the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 final just around the corner, all eyes will be on Prince William as he cheers on the Lionesses in their quest for victory. The prince’s passion for soccer, combined with his role as a prominent figure in the royal family, adds a touch of excitement and anticipation to the forthcoming match. As supporters eagerly await the outcome of the championship game, Prince William’s presence will undoubtedly lend an air of regal support and encouragement to the England team.
