Prince William Spotted at Euro Final During Solo Trip to Germany
Prince William was seen smiling at an event despite reportedly finding public life challenging without Kate Middleton by his side. The heir to the throne attended the Euro 2024 quarter-final match in Germany.
Expected to accompany his father, Prince George was notably absent from the crucial game. Prince William, who serves as president of the FA and is a passionate football enthusiast, has been a regular attendee at matches. During England's June 20 clash against Denmark, he showed great enthusiasm and animation.
Following England's thrilling 2-1 victory over Slovakia, Prince William congratulated Gareth Southgate's team for securing their spot in the quarter-finals. Despite Kate Middleton's recent public appearance, Prince William made the trip to Düsseldorf alone.
In March, Kate, 42, revealed that she was undergoing a course of preventative chemotherapy. The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with Prince George, had previously attended the Euros final in 2021, where England lost dramatically to Italy.
According to royal commentator Gareth Russell, Prince William is reportedly finding public life "emotionally very difficult" without Princess Kate. Speaking to GB News, Russell suggested that while William is performing his public duties in an exemplary manner, it is emotionally challenging to be without his wife in public.
Russell said, "At the moment, we are seeing the Prince of Wales perform his public duties in an exemplary manner. There's a huge amount of public approval for how he's handled them. That's not to say that it's not emotionally very difficult to be without his wife in public, as they often perform together, and obviously to be dealing with the emotional strain and distress that having a loved one with cancer brings to anyone."
