Prince William did not attend the World Cup in 2022, which was held in Qatar amid some political controversy, citing a busy schedule.

He was criticised for not going to watch the England women’s football team, the Lionesses, when they reached the World Cup final in Australia last year. His role as FA president covers both England men’s and women’s sides

So far in 2024 the prince has reduced his travel, after his wife Catherine’s cancer diagnosis.

Overseas visits have been limited to taking part in the D-Day commemorations in France this month.

The Euro 2024 game against Denmark next week, played in Frankfurt, will come a day before the prince’s 42nd birthday.

He was just 23 when he took on the role of FA president and one of his first duties was to attend the 2006 World Cup in Germany that summer.

He showed his support for England in their opening match against Paraguay, which was also played in Frankfurt.

During the 2022 World Cup, he said he would be supporting both England and Wales, given his role as the Prince of Wales.

Scotland have also qualified for Euro 2024 and will play their first match against hosts Germany on Friday evening.
