Prince Wiliam is totally chummy with the soccer team ahead of the World Cup. Given that he’s British it’s pretty clear what side the Prince is on!

William traveled to West Riding, Yorkshire, this week to see Team England and wish the players good luck before they depart for the tournament in Russia, reports People. On top of being a fan, William is also president of the Football Association, the governing body of the sport in England.

“He said at the moment he’s trying to teach George that football is actually a contact sport,” player Casey Stoney said. “But George doesn’t really like it when he’s palming him off and getting physical.”

Seven days till the @FifaWorldCup starts and there was a surprise visit from The Duke of Cambridge at England’s training camp as they make there final preparations for the tournament. #England #ThreeLions #WorldCup #FifaWorldCup #TheDukeOfCambridge #PrinceWilliam #ServicedApartments #ConciergeService #ServicedAccommodation #Relocation #ApartHotel #Apartment #BusinessTrip #CorporateAccommodation #Business #CorporateHousing #Holiday #Travel #Tourist #LuxuryApartments #Luxury #Exhibition #Event #CityBreak #Explore
