In recent reports, Prince William confessed to being ‘gutted‘ after England lost the World Cup semifinal to Argentina and expressed his pride for the football team of his country for all their achievements during this tournament.
On July 15th, the Prince of Wales reacted to England’s 2-1 loss to Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinal with a moving message of gratitude for their incredible performance on the soccer field:
“Gutted. England, you gave it everything and we are all so proud of you.
Thank you to everyone on and off the pitch, for an incredible tournament. The fight and belief you have shown has inspired us all. The most complete England team in a tournament. Hold your heads high 🏴

This sad defeat means Prince William will no longer attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup final in the United States, because he previously said he would only attend if England advanced to the final match during a surprise appearance on Jason and Travis Kelce‘s podcast ‘New Heights.’
