Prince William breaks silence as Kate Middleton attends Wimbledon
Prince William released his first major statement following Kate Middleton’s attendance at the Wimbledon final, where she presented the trophy amid her ongoing cancer battle.
The Prince of Wales issued his statement after Spain’s dramatic win over England in the Euro 2024 final. Spain secured their victory with a late goal, winning 2-1 against England on Sunday in Berlin, capturing the trophy for a record fourth time.
In a thrilling match, Real Sociedad striker Mikel Oyarzabal scored the decisive goal in the 86th minute after Nico Williams had put Spain ahead early in the second half. England’s substitute, Cole Palmer, briefly equalized for the Three Lions. However, in the dying moments of the match, Dani Olmo made a crucial header to clear Marc Guehi’s effort off the line, securing Spain’s victory.
Prince William, the President of the Football Association, took to social media to release his statement. He expressed pride in the England team despite their loss. “This time it just wasn’t meant to be. We’re all still so proud of you. Onwards England. W,” the future king wrote.
This statement came after Kate Middleton, despite her health challenges, attended the Wimbledon final with their daughter, Princess Charlotte. Her presence and strength were noted and admired by many.
As Prince William steps into more prominent public roles, his statements reflect his leadership and support for both his family and the nation. His words of encouragement to the England football team and his unwavering support for Kate highlight his dedication and resilience during challenging times.
