Prince William, who has attended some of the England games, and is president of the FA, has sent some extra good luck their way with a recorded video, which has posted to Instagram today.
In the video, which has already had nearly a million views, he says, “Gareth, Harry and every member of the England team, on or off the pitch, I want to just wish you the very best tonight—what a team performance it is has been, every member of the squad has played their part."
