Prince William wished Wales's national football team good luck ahead of their Euros grand debut on Saturday. The Welsh team competed against the Netherlands at this year's European championships but were defeated with a 0-3 score.

The Prince of Wales, who is patron of the Football Association, took to his social media to post a good luck message in full Welsh before the 2025 UEFA Women’s match. William said: "Best of luck to Wales as they make their Women’s Euros debut. A proud and historical moment for Welsh football." He signed off with the Welsh: "Pob lwc!" which means "Good luck" and his initial, "W".
