The King of England, King Charles III, has taken the time to personally congratulate the England men's football team on their incredible achievement of reaching the Euro 2024 final. In a heartfelt message, he urged the players to avoid any last minute drama in the final match.
After their sensational 2-1 victory against the Netherlands, Charles sent his warmest congratulations and best wishes to the team. However, he couldn't resist making a playful jab at the recent nail-biting moments that England fans have endured, such as the last-minute equalizer against Slovakia and the intense penalty shootout against Switzerland in the quarter-final. He humorously reminded the players to consider the nation's collective heart rate and blood pressure in the final clash against Spain.
"Good luck, England," the King concluded his message.
The semi-final match against Spain also had its fair share of drama, with Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins scoring a 90th-minute winner to secure England's spot in the final. Charles, who is a Villa fan, didn't miss the opportunity to congratulate the team and especially commend Watkins for his game-changing goal in a post on social media.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was able to catch some of the game while attending a NATO summit in Washington DC. He confirmed that he will be attending the final match in Berlin and even hinted at the possibility of football finally coming home for England.
During a meeting with US President Joe Biden, Sir Keir was asked if he thought football was coming home, to which he replied, "It looks like it." Biden jokingly credited the Prime Minister for England's success.
Even Prince William, who is the president of the Football Association, is expected to travel to Berlin for the final match on Sunday. The entire nation is buzzing with excitement and anticipation, and it seems like everyone is rallying behind the England team as they make their way to the Euro 2024 final.
