Prince William heads to Switzerland tomorrow, stepping away from royal duties to cheer on England’s football team at the Euros.
The Prince of Wales will fly to Zurich to attend England’s match against the Netherlands. The trip takes place during French President Emmanuel Macron’s ongoing state visit to the UK.
William, who is the patron of The Football Association, is known for his deep support of English football. He is expected to attend the match alone, while Princess Kate remains in the UK.
This comes shortly after William visited St George’s Park. There, he presented official squad jerseys to the Lionesses and spoke with head coach Sarina Wiegman. He also met team captain Leah Williamson and shared his excitement about attending their match in person.
Prince William heads to Switzerland just hours after greeting President Macron alongside the Royal Family at Windsor. The timing highlights his commitment to both royal and sporting duties.
William’s passion for football is long-standing. In 2022, he and Princess Charlotte sent a video message to the Lionesses ahead of their Women’s World Cup match. The Prince praised the team’s strength and unity, calling them an inspiration to the country.
Though his journey will be short, it carries symbolic weight. William has made a point of showing up for major national sporting events, especially those involving women’s football. His ongoing presence has helped elevate the visibility of the Lionesses.
Meanwhile, President Macron continues his three-day state visit in the UK. He and his wife Brigitte were welcomed with full ceremony by King Charles and Queen Camilla earlier today. Prince William was also present at the welcome event at RAF Northolt.
Despite the overlapping events, William is balancing royal duties with personal passions. His trip to Zurich underlines how deeply he values his role as FA patron.
As Prince William heads to Switzerland, fans can expect to see him cheering proudly from the stands proving once again that football runs in royal veins.
