Prince William may have his royal duties, but he’ll always make time for a soccer match.
On Saturday, he flew to Germany to support England in their UEFA EURO quarterfinals match against Switzerland at Düsseldorf Arena. As President of The Football Association, William is a long-time soccer enthusiast and frequently attends matches to cheer on the team.

During the game, he reacted with some facial expressions reminiscent of his youngest son, Prince Louis—who’s built a reputation for his funny behavior during royal events. Prince William could be seen in the stands holding his head in despair, before ultimately shouting with joy to celebrate the English team’s win.

The Prince of Wales has attended several soccer games recently, occasionally taking his son George along with him. The matches seem to be a source of comfort for William as both his wife, Kate Middleton, and his father, King Charles III, undergo cancer treatment. Harper’s Bazaar learned from a source close to the situation, however, that Kate was in good spirits and “making good progress.”
William’s overseas trip can also be seen as a positive sign for the Princess of Wales. In June, she made her first public appearance in almost six months at the Trooping the Colour festivities in London. She issued a personal message the same month to express her determination to heal and take each day as it comes.

“I am making good progress, but as anyone going through chemotherapy will know, there are good days and bad days. On those bad days you feel weak, tired, and you have to give in to your body resting. But on the good days, when you feel stronger, you want to make the most of feeling well,” she wrote. “My treatment is ongoing and will be for a few more months. On the days I feel well enough, it is a joy to engage with school life, spend personal time on the things that give me energy and positivity, as well as starting to do a little work from home.”
