Prince William 'gutted' for England squad after World Cup heartbreak

Prince William has sent England's Three Lions a personal message saying he was "gutted" to see the team exit the 2022 World Cup. Last night (December 10), Gareth Southgate's side lost 2-1 to France at the Al Bayt Stadium.

England's heartbreak was made worse by the fact captain Harry Kane missed a penalty in the 84th minute which would have tied the game. Aurelien Tchouameni put the French ahead in the 17th minute with a lovely strike after finding space outside the box.

However, England managed to get on top of the defending champions and equalised through a penalty slotted home by Kane, who equalled Wayne Rooney's scoring record of 53 goals for the Three Lions. But in the 78th minute, Olivier Giroud headed home a cross to put France back ahead.
