Prince William looked giddy at the event. Unfortunately, since his wife, Kate Middleton, is currently self-isolating — she came in contact with someone who tested positive for COVID-19 — the prince had to attend the game solo, but it looked like he was having a great time!
"What a game, what a result! A huge team effort @England," William tweeted. "The whole country will be behind you on Sunday #ItsComingHome."
In late June, the dad-of-three attended the match with Kate and their eldest son, Prince George, 7.
“Prince William is George’s absolute hero,” expert Duncan Larcombe told OK! magazine. “He thinks his dad’s the most perfect person on the planet. “William would never have normally taken him to the football because it was an official outing in his role as president of the FA, but George absolutely begged to be allowed to come along."
“Kate and William are at pains to never expose the children unnecessarily to the cameras but he twisted their arm eventually. That’s why Kate came, so that when William had to meet all the dignitaries, George could stay with her," he continued.
Larcombe noted that George "idolizes" his father. "That’s why we saw him looking so smart in his suit — he really wanted to dress like William," he said. “He’s becoming a pretty big character and has both of his parents eating out of the palm of his hand.”
The athlete was also spotted in the stands, wearing a dark blue suit. "Big night tonight and proud to have been stood there watching Gareth and the boys make history ... Hard fight to the end, but wow was it worth it," he captioned a photo of the team via Instagram.
Beckham added, "Well done boys & well done to the incredible fans in the stadium and around the country what a night ... @england."
