Prince Louis sends touching message amid Kate Middleton’s doubt

Kate Middleton is undergoing treatment for cancer

The Prince of Wales, who is president of the Football Association, said Prince Louis had offered his advice to English footballers ahead of the Euro 2024 tournament.

Today, Prince William met England manager Gareth Southgate and the 26-player squad as they prepare for the tournament, which begins on Friday.

Prince William revealed he asked his three young children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, if they had any messages to pass on to the footballers.

He added that Louis suggested players eat twice the normal amount of food they consume to prepare for the tournament.

William said: “I was at school this morning with the kids and I said what I should say to the England team when I see them today.

“The best advice I received was to eat twice as much as usual.

“So, I now have visions of you all running around with huge bellies and piles of stitches on the field. So I think maybe I should take my youngest’s advice with a pinch salt.”

Princess Kate’s appearance at the Trooping the Color event this weekend appears to be in doubt after the royal apologized to Irish guards for missing the colonel’s review this weekend.

The royal has taken a step back from her duties while she undergoes preventative chemotherapy for her recent cancer diagnosis.

The princess wrote: “I wanted to write to you and let you know how proud I am of the whole regiment before the colonel’s review and parade of the flag. I appreciate that everyone participating this year has been training for months and putting in many hours to ensure their uniforms and drills are impeccable.

“Being your Colonel remains a great honor, and I am truly sorry that I will not be able to receive the salute at this year’s Colonel’s Review. Please pass on my apologies to the entire regiment, however, I hope to be able to represent you all once . again very soon Please send best wishes and good luck to everyone involved.

Trooping the Color is due to take place on Saturday June 15 and traditionally members of the royal family gather on the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

However, Kate’s recent absence has sparked speculation about whether the future queen would be well enough to appear.

The princess is thought to be “considering” a balcony appearance, but “only if she is well enough.”
