William, who turns 42 tomorrow, was set to watch Gareth Southgate’s side in their second group stage match at the Frankfurt Arena this afternoon.
The royal, who is president of the FA and a fan of Premier League side Aston Villa, presented shirts to the England squad before the team left for Germany, making a surprise visit to St George’s Park, England’s national football centre in Burton upon Trent.
He also shared some advice from his younger son, Prince Louis, who suggested the players “eat twice the amount” to secure their bid for Euros glory.
The trip will be a solo one for William, as the Princess of Wales is still away from public duties while she continues her treatment for cancer.
