Prince William will travel to Berlin for England’s Euro 2024 final against Spain on Sunday – with Kate tipped to appear at Wimbledon on the same day.
The royal attended the Three Lions’ quarter-final victory over Switzerland last Saturday and will be in the stands for England’s first ever final on foreign soil.
Meanwhile back in the UK, Wimbledon officials remain ‘hopeful’ that the Princess of Wales may feel well enough to hand out their own trophies on Centre Court over the weekend.
Last weekend, the future king displayed a whole gamut of emotions as he roared in response to Bukayo Saka‘s skillful opening goal against the Swiss before placing his head in his hands as the referee blew the final whistle to confirm that the game was to be decided from 12 yards.
Once Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold sealed victory with an emphatic penalty kick, however, the Prince of Wales leapt from his seat and punched the air in a moment of unconfined joy.
The royal previously described England’s 2-1 extra time win over Slovakia in the last 16 as an ’emotional rollercoaster’ but the Three Lions’ last two matches have arguably been even more tense with a last minute Ollie Watkins winner sending Gareth Southgate‘s men through to the final against the Netherlands.
England reached Sunday’s final in dramatic fashion after Watkins’s 90th minute strike secured the victory, with Harry Kane earlier cancelling out Xavi Simons’s first half opener.
It was the third successive knockout game at the tournament that the Three Lions have won following substantial drama.
Southgate’s squad will now attempt to go one step further than Euro 2020, when they also reached the final but lost to Italy on penalties at Wembley.
Nervous England fans suffered early heartbreak when Simons opened the scoring with a thunderbolt shortly after kick-off. But their agony turned into euphoria when Kane equalised from the spot in the 18th minute.
With the game heading to extra-time again, Watkins – who had only been on the pitch nine minutes – clinched a historic winner in the 90th minute, prompting England’s substitutes to run onto the pitch, as pints flew across pubs and fan zones at home.
