Prince William on King Charles’ relationship with football: ‘He hates it!’

Prince William has revealed that his father, King Charles III, is not a football fan at all. The heir to the British throne made this confession in the podcast made by NFL star Travis Kelce, an episode published on Friday, just hours before the American football player married pop artist Taylor Swift, according to AFP.

The football World Cup was the main topic of discussion on this podcast with the Prince of Wales, who is known to be a fan of Premier League club Aston Villa. When asked if King Charles was the person who passed on this passion to him, he replied: “Absolutely not at all. My father hates football!”.

Thanks to an exceptional performance by the team captain and striker from FC Bayern Munich, Harry Kane, author of two goals in the last minutes against the Democratic Republic of Congo, England qualified for the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup, according to agerpres.ro.

England will face Mexico on Sunday at the high-altitude Azteca stadium. When asked by Travis Kelce if he would cross the Atlantic to watch the final if England got there, Prince William replied: “Certainly!”.
