Prince Williamand his family are rooting for the home team in the Euro 2020 final!
William, who is President of the Football Association, once again appeared in-person to support England’s soccer team as they faced Italy in the soccer (or football, as Brits call the sport) tournament final on Sunday. And the Duke of Cambridge didn’t have to travel far — the match took place at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Just like last time, the young royal and his dadwore matching outfits, both opting for sharp blazers and a red and blue tie. Meanwhile, Kate honored her country’s colors in a white blazer.
They also had something to cheer about early on as England scored their first goal just two minutes into the championship match.
Also in attendance wereDavid BeckhamandTom Cruise, whocelebrated the early goal with a fist bump.

What a team performance it’s been,” he said. “Every member of the squad has played their part. All the background team has well have been truly essential.““Can’t really believe this is happening.
