The Duke is expected to attend the final of the tournament on Sunday July 11th at Wembley where England will play Italy. It’s the first time the men’s senior team has reached a major final since 1966 when England won the World Cup.
William watched the semi-final, which was won in extra time, by himself as the Duchess of Cambridge is still self-isolating after coming into contact with someone who tested positive for coronavirus. It’s not known how much longer Kate has to quarantine or whether she will be able to join her husband for this long awaited final.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, along with their eldest son, Prince Christian, cheered on their team. They later sent warm words of commiseration to the Danish side who have been highly praised throughout the tournament for their football and for their team spirit after they formed a defensive shield around player Christian Eriksen following his collapse in their opening match.
