Luke Littler, the 19-year-old world number one darts player, has extended an invitation to Prince William to attend the World Darts Championship at Alexandra Palace. The invitation came after Littler received an MBE from the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle on May 19 for his contributions to the sport.
During their conversation, Prince William reportedly told Littler that the championship event “looks like a good night out.” Littler, who did not initially invite the royal, later said he was confident tickets could be arranged. “If he needs a few tickets, I'm sure myself or the PDC will sort some,” Littler told reporters.
Prince William, a known football fan and supporter of Aston Villa, has been following Littler’s career. The darts star described the MBE ceremony as a “crazy experience” and noted that William said he had been “following his journey.”
The World Darts Championship finals night is scheduled for May 28 at The O2 in London, with semi-finals taking place earlier. Littler, a two-time world champion, hopes to see the future king in attendance.
