Prince Charles And Camilla Show Support For English Football Team

On July 6, Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla honoured England's national football team ahead of an important match! The UEFA Euro Championships are currently taking place, with England having advanced to the semi-finals of the event. The royal couple showed their support for the nation's team—  also known as "The Three Lions"— by organizing a special musical performance!

Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla had the Band of the Coldstream Guards stationed in the Clarence House gardens, where they performed orchestral renditions of two popular songs. First was the team's anthem "Three Lions," which was made famous by David Baddiel, Frank Skinner, and the Lightning Seeds. They also played Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline"! 

Charles and Camilla shared a video clip of The Band of the Coldstream Guards playing "Three Lions" on the Clarence House social media pages. They also included a caption supporting the team. "Best of luck to the #ThreeLions in your semi-final Euros match tonight!" the royals wrote. "@England - From The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall. #ItsComingHome."

Prince Charles' son Prince William attended the match on Tuesday, which saw England advance to the finals. The Duke of Cambridge is President of the Football Association, so his presence at the event was important. However, he was seen watching the football game without his wife Duchess Kate by his side— for an unfortunate reason.

While William watched England's football team play just last week with Kate and their oldest son, Prince George, Kate is now quarantining at home. After she learned that she came into contact with someone who has COVID-19, the Duchess of Cambridge has been extremely cautious— which means sadly having to miss out on the exciting semi-final match!
