Why Prince William hasn’t attended an England match ahead of semi-final | Royal | News

As England approach the final ahead of their clash with Argentina, both football and Royals fans are speculating whether the Prince will feature in future matches. Other royals from across Europe were also spotted at the matches, including King Felipe of Spain, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands. Despite his love of the game and the tournament, the future King of Britain is nowhere to be seen.

In fact, William said on Travis Kelce’s podcast that he would travel to watch England if they made it to the final. But he’s been pretty busy up until this point.

He is expected to attend Wimbledon as his wife Catherine is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. She actually did this with her husband and two oldest children on one of the busiest days of the tournament.

Meanwhile, Prince George has just finished his final term at Lambrook school; This is something William will see as a major milestone and will want to be home to celebrate with his family.

While there may be logistical reasons for missing World Cup matches so far, some royal commentators have suggested there may be a political reason why William has missed the tournament itself so far.

“There will probably be some expectations around: [William and Donald Trump] to meet.”

“The President asked, ‘Where is your wife?’ he will ask. “Because we know he is very impressed, he is a big fan of Catherine,” he added. “So yes, he would have to get involved in diplomatic affairs. It’s complicated.”
