Prince William is “gutted” for the England team after they exited the World Cup.
The 40-year-old royal – who is president of the English Football Association (FA) – has sent his condolences to manager Gareth Southgate and his squad after the men’s national soccer side lost 2-1 to France in the quart finals of the tournament on Saturday (10.12.22), with captain Harry Kane missing the chance to level up the score when he sent a second penalty flying high over the goalpost.
Taking to Twitter, the Prince of Wales wrote in a personal message: “Gareth, Harry and the whole @England squad and staff, gutted for all of you.
“You put so much into this tournament and we are all so proud of you. Heads held high and on to the next one! W.”
Speaking after the game, the 52-year-old manager insisted his team had done well in the match but the result just didn’t go their way.
