“High hearts”, this is in essence what Prince William directed to the England team, defeated this Saturday night by the Blues in Qatar in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.
“Gareth, Harry et toute l’équipe d’Angleterre, je suis désolé pour vous tous. Vous vous êtes tellement investis dans ce tournoi et nous sommes tous si fiers de vous. Gardez la tête haute et à la prochaine fois”, a tweeté Prince.

The disappointment is great, this Sunday, on the other side of the English Channel, the day after this match, which ends the hopes of the Three Lions.
William’s support for the England team, and not for Wales, while he holds the title of Prince of Wales, had been criticized at the start of this World Cup. It was the first time since 1958 that Wales had participated in the World Cup.
“I’ve been supporting England since I was very young, but I support Wales in rugby and that’s how I do things,” Prince William said.
The Welsh team lost in the group stage matches against England, but also against Iran, and drew against the United States. The Red Dragons did not advance to the round of 16.
