The Prince of Wales was on hand to honour England football star Harry Kane on a special night.
The England captain made his 126th appearance for the national side, setting a new record.
As he walked out on to the pitch at Wembley, ahead of their UEFA Nations League match against Croatia, Harry found William waiting for him.
The Prince, who is a huge football fan, led the applause as Kane presented the Ballon d’Or to the Wembley crowd.
Then William handed over a gift to Harry Kane to mark his record making appearance – a framed England shirt bearing the captain’s name and the number 126.

Also on hand to congratulate Kane was previous record holder, Peter Shilton.
Prince William then joined the crowd to watch the match, a group stage in the Nations League. England are already assured of a place in the next round regardless of the result. Harry Kane scored a penalty to put England 2-1 ahead and give the England captain his 92nd goal on the night he became the national side’s top cap holder.
Just days earlier, William had spoken of his love of football in the latest edition of Country Life magazine which he has edited this week. The Prince also spoke about the importance of supporting women in the military and providing mental health support for the farming community where loneliness is often a major factor.
Following the publication, William attended the Tusk Awards. He had the support of three of his cousins at the black tie event with Zara Tindall on hand for the glittering ceremony in London. Lady Amelia Spencer and Lady Eliza Spencer were also at the ceremony.
