In a surprising turn of events, young Prince George was notably missing from the stands as his father, Prince William, passionately supported England in their recent Euro match against Denmark.
The game, held in Germany, ended in a 1-1 draw, but the absence of the 10-year-old football enthusiast raised eyebrows among royal watchers.
While Prince William mingled with other dignitaries, including King Frederick X of Denmark, young George had a different focus—his education at Lambrook School in Berkshire.
It seems that even for a budding football fan, school comes first, and the young prince had to prioritize his studies over attending the match.
Celebrating his 42nd birthday on June 21, Prince William was spotted enjoying the game and sharing laughs with the Danish monarch.
Meanwhile, King Frederick brought along his daughter, Princess Josephine, who sported a stylish red and white striped outfit.
Their presence added a familial touch to the event, contrasting with George’s absence.
The Prince of Wales, known for his commitment to football, was among the thousands of fans cheering for Gareth Southgate’s squad.
Kensington Palace had previously announced William’s attendance at the Frankfurt Arena, underscoring his role as president of the Football Association and a dedicated supporter of the team.
Before the tournament kicked off, Prince William made a special visit to St George’s Park to wish the England squad well.
There, he distributed shirts to the excited players, showcasing his enthusiasm for the sport and his support for the national team.
At home in Adelaide Cottage, Prince George was likely spending quality time with his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
Their mother, Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, has been focusing on her health as she undergoes treatment for cancer, which has kept her largely out of the public eye.
Despite her challenges, Kate managed to attend the Trooping of the Colour on June 15, marking King Charles‘s official birthday.
Her presence was a testament to her resilience, as she continues to navigate the ups and downs of chemotherapy treatment.
In a heartfelt message, Kate shared her experiences, acknowledging both the good days and the tough ones.
She expressed gratitude for the moments of joy that help her cope, even as she balances her health struggles with family life.
As the royal family celebrates, King Charles took to social media to share a nostalgic birthday tribute to Prince William.
The post featured an endearing black-and-white photograph of a young William with his father, evoking fond memories and highlighting the close bond between them.
Kate also joined in the birthday celebrations, posting a delightful image of William with their children as they jumped joyfully on sand dunes.
This glimpse into their family life showcases the warmth and love that permeates the royal household.
As the football matches continue, one can only wonder how Prince George will balance his love for the game with his academic responsibilities.
After all, even a future king must learn that education is key, especially when there are goals to achieve—both on and off the field.
