Prince William delighted football and royal fans alike with a rare personal message following his solo attendance at the FA Cup final on Saturday. The 42-year-old royal took to the official Prince and Princess of Wales X (formerly Twitter) account to congratulate Crystal Palace on their stunning 1-0 victory over Manchester City in a historic match held at Wembley Stadium.
As President of the Football Association, Prince William’s passion for the sport was evident in his heartfelt message. He praised Crystal Palace for their impressive performance, writing, “Congratulations @CPFC on a brilliant FA Cup victory! A historic win and a performance to remember. The support was amazing, you’ve made your fans proud!” Alongside the message, he shared a vibrant video highlighting the thrilling atmosphere and key moments from the game.
The winning goal by England star Eberechi Eze marked a significant triumph for Crystal Palace, sending shockwaves through the football community. William’s public recognition of the team’s success resonated deeply with fans, especially as he attended the match without Princess Kate, who remains out of the public eye.
Royal enthusiasts and football supporters welcomed Prince William’s support, with many expressing excitement for his continued involvement in football events. One fan commented, “Great to see you supporting the game. Looking forward to the women’s finals next!”
Looking ahead, royal sources have confirmed that the Prince and Princess of Wales plan to reunite soon for an important visit to Scotland, signaling a busy schedule for the royal couple.
