I know how disappointed @england must feel right now but I couldn’t be more proud of this team and you should hold your heads high. You’ve had an incredible #WorldCup⁠ ⁠, made history, and gave us fans something to believe in. We know there is more to come from this @england team. W

“Prince William shared in football fans' disappointment when England crashed out of the World Cup in an agonising semi-final defeat on Wednesday night.

But the father of three - and president of the Football Association - could take solace in a victory of his own the following day, when he scored three goals during a charity polo match against Saudi royals in Cambridge on Thursday.

The hat trick from the Duke of Cambridge, 36, helped the team triumph in the 22nd annual GCC Polo Cup - which saw the most goals scored in any match in the history of the event.”

The Duke of Cambridge will attend a Football for Peace Graduation Ceremony

Copper Box Arena, London

Thursday 22nd November, 2018

The Duke of Cambridge will attend the graduation ceremony of 30 Young Peace Leaders from Football for Peace’s UK City for Peace programme at the Copper Box Arena on 22nd November 2018.

Cities for Peace is a programme created by Football for Peace, a global football charity that aims to develop relationships and understanding in marginalised communities around the world. The organisation encourages social cohesion by using football to bring children together from different cultures, faiths and backgrounds. By working together, these young people learn to confront preconceptions, stereotypes and extreme ideologies through their shared passion of football.

On the day, the event will honour the organisation’s Young Peace Leaders who have completed the City for Peace programme. Through this programme, Football for Peace works in conjunction with local councils, football clubs and schools to train young people aged 15-18 in how to unite their communities on and off the pitch, from running local football tournaments to organising classroom workshops to discuss issues currently dividing their communities.

During the visit, The Duke will attend a workshop on equality, diversity and inclusion, as well as conflict resolution, which will be delivered by Football for Peace tutors and attended by Young Peace Leaders. His Royal Highness will then meet the charity’s Footballing Ambassadors, teachers and watch over 60 students from six schools in Newham who will be taking part in a Peace Tournament and other football drills sessions led and managed by the Young Peace Leaders. The Duke will then help present the certificates to young people from London, Birmingham and Luton who have completed their Youth Peace Leaders programme.

This event coincides with the launch by Football for Peace of the #FootballSavesLives campaign, a new pledge to train 500 young people across the UK to become Peace leaders by 2020. This campaign will be launched on the day with the participation of international football players including Wilfried Zaha, Mesut Ozil, John Terry, Louis Saha, Bacary Sagna, and Troy Deeney.
 
The Duke of Cambridge, FA President, and The Duchess of Cambridge will visit Leicester on Wednesday 28th November to pay tribute to those who were tragically killed in the helicopter crash at @LCFC's King Power Stadium.

Their Royal Highnesses knew the Club’s Chairman, Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha, and wanted to visit the city to recognise the warmth and compassion that the people of Leicester and fans of @LCFC have shown in reaction to the accident.

Leicester City Vice Chairman Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha said:

“It is truly an honour for everyone associated with the Club to welcome The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to King Power Stadium. For Their Royal Highnesses to visit the city to pay their respects personally is a remarkable gesture of compassion to the families of those who lost their lives, to the staff and players of the Club and to the people of the city whose lives were touched by my father.

“Together with our community partners, we intend to showcase some of the best of Leicester – both in the way the city has come together in the face of such tragedy and in the great work we will continue to undertake in my father’s name as part of our commitment to his legacy.”

Its kind of fitting that William has also opened the Dragons Brewery in Cardiff. Being inundated by dragons all around and nothing goes better with rugby than beer eh?

I think William is enjoying himself immensely. :D

William loves a good football match, so I'm sure he enjoyed this engagement particularly since it ties with the mental health in football campaign he's so passionate about.
I still haven't forgotten when he personally logged on to KP's Twitter to tweet about a match Aston Villa were participating in a few weeks ago! :D
