Prince William meets Gareth Southgate and England team before Euro 24

Harry Kane has joked that the England men's football team's nutritionist won't be happy after Prince Louis advised the players to 'eat twice as much' as they normally would ahead of Euro 2024.

'So I then had visions of you all running around with massive great tummies and loads of stitches on the pitch so I think maybe take my youngest's advice with a pinch of salt, particularly around the physio team.' William was greeted outside by Mark Bullingham, chief executive of the FA, before coming in to speak to England manager Gareth Southgate, and England technical director John McDermott.

'It's going to be difficult, it's going to be fun, it's going to be challenging, it's going to be everything that you've ever dreamed of, you know, wearing that England shirt, and all the experiences you've had at club football are going to have to be in the back of your head. 'And you guys have got all the talent in the world, you're a great squad, but talent alone won't win the tournament.

The box containing Kane's No. 9 shirt also included a picture of the England captain as a boy with the Ridgeway Rovers Football Club logo, the Chingford club where his career started, and the words: 'Harry Kane: All time goalscorer.' 'We know how much it means to the country to the fans and that's everyone from the royal family to the local shopworker, the whole nation comes together at this moment.

William Bailey, 11, who was playing for the Port Vale Foundation, showed Kane and William his unique goal celebration dance. The prince replied: 'It's got everything.'Zakh Poots, Port Vale Foundation football coach, said: 'We were here and met Prince William for the 10th anniversary at St George's Park and we brought him oat cakes from Stoke on Trent.

Kane brushed off Friday's 1-0 defeat at Wembley against Iceland, saying: 'We're looking forward to it. Lot of excitement. I think is OK .
