Prince William and King Charles set for historic meeting with England squad

England will face Spain in the highly anticipated contest as Gareth Southgate bids to become the first Three Lions manager to win the Euros.

Spain has won two editions of the Euros in the 21st century with back-to-back triumphs coming in 2008 and 2012.

England and Spain have not faced off against each other in a major tournament in men's football since 1996.

If England wins the tournament the squad will have a historic meeting with King Charles and Prince William.

There are also plans for an open-top bus parade through the streets of London on Tuesday.

The route would take England to Buckingham Palace, where Southgate and his players would be honoured at a reception with the two royals.

The Prince of Wales has closely supported England throughout the tournament.

Willian flew to Germany to watch Gareth Southgate's team defeat Switzerland on penalties after a tense 1-1 draw earlier this month.

He was photographed with England players including Trent Alexander-Arnold and Bukayo Saka after the match.

The royal was pictured watching England's second game of Euro 2024 against Denmark last month.
