Prince William says he'll go to US if England reaches final

The Prince of Wales has said he will travel to the United States to attend the World Cup final later this month if England's national team advances, while also revealing his father, King Charles, has no fondness for the sport. Prince William made the comments during a recent appearance on the "New Heights" podcast hosted by American football stars Travis and Jason Kelce.

As patron of England's Football Association and a lifelong fan, William stated unequivocally that he would make the trip should England reach the final, which is scheduled for July 19 at a stadium in New Jersey. During the conversation, he jokingly invited the Kelce brothers to join him, insisting he would try to help them get out of prior commitments.

William expressed cautious optimism about England's tournament prospects, describing himself as "quietly confident" in the team, which he said appeared to be in a good frame of mind and playing with freedom. England had recently advanced past the round of 32 and was preparing for a round of 16 match against Mexico.
