Prince William Responds to Criticism Over Support for England’s Football Team
In a visit to Senedd in Cardiff on Wednesday, November 16th, Prince William addressed the severe criticism he faced for supporting England’s football team while holding the title of Prince of Wales.
During a lighthearted conversation with Linwid Ellen Jones during a tour of Siambra, the future king confronted the issue head-on.
This engagement followed Prince William’s meeting with the England football squad, where he presented them with their World Cup shirts as a special send-off before the upcoming tournament in Qatar.
Welsh actor Michael Sheen, known for his anti-Brexit stance, sparked a war of words with the Prince after criticizing him for handing out shirts to England’s World Cup squad.
Sheen argued that it was inappropriate for Prince William, who holds the title of Prince of Wales, to support the English team.

Sheen had previously criticized King Charles for visiting Wales during the Queen’s mourning period in September.
In a video shared by the English Football Association, Prince William expressed his support for the World Cup squad, stating, “We’re all rooting for you!”
However, Sheen took to Twitter to voice his disapproval, stating that while Prince William can support any team he likes, doing so while holding the title of Prince of Wales is entirely inappropriate.
Many supporters agreed with Sheen’s sentiments, expressing that the title implies national subjugation and should be abolished.
On the other hand, some defended Prince William’s support for England.
They argued that as the president of the English FA, it is expected for him to back the English team.
They emphasized that his title as Prince of Wales should not affect his support for England.

He explained that he has been an England supporter since childhood but also supports Welsh rugby.
He acknowledged the need to carefully balance his affiliations and expressed his desire for an England versus Wales World Cup final.
The Prince’s visit to Senedd included a tour of the building and the debating chamber, led by Ellen Jones MS, the presiding officer.
He also met with representatives from Welsh political parties, providing him an opportunity to learn and discuss matters important to the Welsh people.
Additionally, Prince William visited the Welsh Youth Parliament to hear directly from the younger generation about their concerns and priorities.
Prince William and Princess Catherine have shown their commitment to strengthening their ties with Wales.
They expressed gratitude to King Charles for bestowing the title of Prince of Wales upon Prince William.
The couple aims to support the aspirations of the Welsh people and shed light on both the challenges and opportunities facing Wales.
They look forward to celebrating Wales’ rich history and traditions while embracing a promising future.
In conclusion, Prince William’s visit to Senedd in Cardiff allowed him to address criticism regarding his support for England’s football team as the Prince of Wales.
While some expressed disagreement with his dual support, others defended his right to back the English team due to his role as the president of the English FA.
Prince William emphasized his support for both England and Wales and highlighted the importance of maintaining a careful balance between his affiliations.
