• The Duke of Cambridge was wiped out by a tackle by Jill Scott, to which he jokes should have warranted a "yellow card".
• In other royal news, the history of the Queen’s Edinburgh wedding bracelet, and the significant reason only one other person has worn it.

Tonight saw England's Lionesses achieve victory, bringing it home for England and making the nation proud. Before the game, William and Charlotte cheered on England's Lionesses ahead of Euro final.

And Prince William knows himself just how skilled the England's women's team can be, after he was wiped out with a tackle by star player Jill Scott. 

Apparently, the Duke joked that the foul should have been given a "yellow card" and it's now a running joke between himself and the football player. 

According to reporting from The Mirror, midfielder said of the incident, “It stems back to about 10 years ago when we did a charity event and I slipped and side-tackled him and actually wiped him out. 

"The running joke whenever he sees us is, ‘No yellow cards this tournament Jill!"

During a kickabout at Kensington Palace, William, once joked that he still had a scar on his leg from Jill's tackle, according to reports from The Mirror.

Jokes aside, it's clear the pair share a mutual respect.  

When Jill was granted her MBE for services to women's football, Prince William personally congratulated her with a handwritten letter, telling her to "keep up the good work".

Speaking on her BBC podcast, Jill Scott’s Coffee Club, she said of his letter, “That’s probably the best thing I have ever received. You know what, next time I see him I might say, ‘Can I come to Buckingham Palace?’ He’s a great guy.”

England forward Ellen White, 33, added, “He absolutely loves Jill. From the times we have met him, he’s straight to Jill, chatting. He’s such a nice guy.”
