Prince William may have just scored major “cool dad” points with his kids — Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis — thanks to a very special moment at Windsor Castle.
On Wednesday, June 25, the Prince of Wales led an investiture ceremony where he officially knighted Gareth Southgate for his contributions to English football.
Southgate, who previously played the game professionally, went on to lead England’s national team as manager, taking them to the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup, the finals of Euro 2020, the quarterfinals of the 2022 World Cup, and most recently, the final of Euro 2024.
The Royal Kids Are All Soccer Fans
William’s three children are known to be avid soccer enthusiasts. Prince George, 11, even joined his father in person to cheer for England at the Euro 2024 final, while Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, supported the team from home, dressed in personalized jerseys.
Prince William has previously admitted that his children play a surprising role in his match-day rituals. In an interview with The Sun earlier this year, he shared:
“If I’m home alone with the children, I probably don’t have the pre-match pint, but I do have a bit of superstition about where I sit when I’m watching them.”
He added, “If we’re not doing very well, I start moving round the house quite quickly, and I put the children in different positions hoping that’s going to change our luck.”
