Prince William has shared
a sweet update on his daughter Princess Charlotte, revealing that the
seven-year-old is a “budding” future football player.
The prince was visiting
England Women’s team at St George’s Park where he was given three football
shirts that had his children’s names on the back. As he saw Charlotte’s he
laughed and passed on a message from the young girl.
“Charlotte wanted me to
tell you that she is really good at goal. She said ‘Please tell them that.’
She’s a budding star for the future,” he shared.
William watched the training
session in Burton upon Trent and then spoke to several of the players and the
coaches ahead of the UEFA Women’s Euro 2022 which kicks off on 6 July 2022 and
is hosted by England.
The second-in-line to the
throne is president of the Football Association, and a supporter of Aston Villa
football club, and it appears his children have also taken to the sport.
Prince George is a keen
football fan and he attended his first football match along with his sister,
Charlotte, in October 2019, watching Norwich City vs Aston Villa at Carrow Road
Stadium. He even posed in his England football shirt for his sixth
birthday pictures in 2019.

In 2021 he appeared at
many of the England games during the rescheduled 2020 Euros, joining his
dad and mum, the Duchess of Cambridge, to cheer on the England team as
Gareth Southgate’s squad passed through the last-16 fixture and made it to the
finals.
But he was noticeably
upset when England lost in the final game against Italy. Little George, who was
sat in between his parents William and Kate, looked downbeat when England’s
fate was sealed and his father lovingly stroked his shoulders as he consoled
him.
Earlier in 2022 the Duke of
Cambridge was spotted cheering on his son George as the young royal played on
his school football team.
In a photo shared to social
media, he could be seen standing smiling with the opposing team, while another
photo showed the young prince in a blue-and-white striped kit and yellow football
boots concentrating intently on the game.
