The Duke of Cambridge has given England's World Cup campaign a royal seal of approval after visiting the dressing room at Wembley to wish Roy Hodgson and his team good luck.
Prince William, who is president of the Football Association, was guest of honour at England's 3-0 win against Peru in their send-off friendly. He recorded a video message expressing his pride in backing Hodgson's men in Brazil.
Speaking after the match, the Prince said: 'Having spent some time with the England players after the Peru game at Wembley, I am sure they will be ready for the challenge. I wish Roy, his staff and the squad all the very best, starting with their first match against Italy on June 14.'
The Prince also praised Premier League referee Howard Webb, saying: 'It reminds us that we are up there with the best when it comes to refereeing.' He added: 'The World Cup is an amazing moment for the nation to come together.'
Prince Harry is also set to attend the tournament, watching England take on Costa Rica in Belo Horizonte on June 24, as well as Brazil's match against Cameroon in Brasilia.
