The Prince of Wales has met with the England football team and insisted “the country is behind you”.
The Prince made a surprise visit to the England team’s headquarters at St George’s Park on Monday before the squad flew out to Qatar on Tuesday morning. Gareth Southgate’s side play their first game next Monday against Iran, followed by a clash against the USA a week on Friday, and then a potentially crunch final group game encounter with Wales on November 29.
Prince William officially became Prince of Wales in September following the death of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, and the subsequent accession to the throne of his father, who is now King Charles III. The Prince, who is president of the English FA, has not met with the Wales squad before they fly off to Qatar on Tuesday.
