Prince George 'begged' Prince William to take him to England game

7/9


Prince George 'begged' Prince William to take him to watch England play Germany in the European Football Championship, a royal expert has claimed.

The young royal, seven, dressed in a smart suit and tie similar to his father's, made a surprise appearance alongside the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 39, at Wembley Stadium for the Euro 2020 last-16 clash last week.

It was a big moment for George, who only steps into the spotlight with his parents on select occasions, as he enjoyed his first England game, while his sister Princess Charlotte, six, and brother Prince Louis, three, most likely stayed at home.

Duncan Larcombe has now revealed the little royal was determined to attend the match with his father, telling OK!: 'George idolises his dad. That’s why we saw him looking so smart in his suit - he really wanted to dress like William.'

While it has been confirmed Prince William and Kate will attend the final Euro 2020 match on Sunday, it is unknown if George, who has been described as 'football mad', will join them to see The Three Lions take on Italy at Wembley.

The royal expert said the Duke is George's 'hero', revealing: 'William would never have normally taken him to the football because it was an official outing in his role as president of the FA, but George absolutely begged to be allowed to come along.'

He said the little royal, who he described as 'a pretty big character', 'twisted his parent's arms', adding: 'That’s why Kate came, so that when William had to meet all the dignitaries, George could stay with her.'

The eldest Cambridge sibling, who shares the same name with the patron saint of England, watched as the Three Lions triumphed over Germany, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling.

After the triumphant game at Wembley Stadium, the Duke and Duchess took to their official Twitter account to praise the team's 'incredible performance'.

At the start of the night young George, who is an avid football enthusiast like his father, amused fans when he mumbled shyly while the stadium joined together with the players to sing God Save the Queen, as some pointed out the song was about his great-grandmother.
