Prince William is set to fly to Germany to watch England play Switzerland in the Three Lions’ crunch Euros quarter-final tomorrow.
The match, which takes place in Dusseldorf at 5pm, will be manager Gareth Southgate’s 100th game in charge making him only the third manager to reach the landmark.
It comes after the Prince of Wales was spotted at England’s group stage game against Denmark which ended in a 1-1 draw after an early goal scored by captain Harry Kane.
Prince William, who is also the President of the FA, was incredibly animated throughout the Euros clash on June 20, including when he launched out of his seat and cheered after the opener in the 18th minute.

William – like most of the nation – had his hand on his head after a far from convincing performance from the Three Lions
But by the end of the game, William – like most of the nation – had his hands on his face after a far from convincing performance saw England pegged back to a 1-1 draw thanks to a wonder strike from Danish midfielder Morten Hjulmand.
England’s tepid display that day has been followed up by two more underwhelming matches, including a 0-0 draw in the final group game against Slovenia and a 2-1 win over Slovakia in the last 16.
Despite the lacklustre performance, the prince showed his sportsmanship by shaking hands with Denmark’s King, Frederik X, at the full-time whistle – with both countries still on track to advance in the tournament.
The pair appeared to have a jokey exchange as Frederik X, who only acceded to the throne following his mother’s shock abdication in January, celebrated with a fist pump in front of William’s face when he left the stadium.
Long-time football fan William was photographed laughing with Frederik in the crowd and the pair were filmed having an enthusiastic conversation as they sat together on the same row.
William was wearing a suit and striped tie and Frederik an open-collar white shirt and blazer at the Frankfurt Arena in Germany.
The Prince of Wales, who made the trip to Frankfurt without the Princess of Wales despite her recent public appearance, was also spotted chatting to former Manchester United CEO and UEFA treasurer David Gill and FA CEO Mark Bullingham.
