Much like her mother, Princess Charlotte, eight, is already a keen sportswoman who has a love of everything from tennis to rugby.

However, another sport that she is fond of is football – as her Prince William adorably pointed out last year.

During a visit to meet the England Lionesses – who yesterday triumphed 6-1 over China in the Women's World Cup – the heir to the throne made a sweet admission about his daughter.

During a visit to the team at St George’s Park in Burton-on-Trent ahead of last summer’s UEFA Women’s Euro 2022, William told Captain Leah Williamson: “Charlotte wanted me to tell you that she’s really good in goal. She said, ‘Please tell them that’. Budding star for the future!”

Prince William pledged his support for the team when he visited them during a training session and was given three miniature England shirts for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

After watching the team train and briefly taking part in shooting practice, the Prince told the players: “It’s a big tournament coming up for you. It’s exciting and everyone’s looking forward to it. You are all trailblazers for women’s sport and women’s football.”

Prince William was later joined by Princess Charlotte in a short video message to wish the team luck ahead of the Euro Final where England championed 2-1 over Germany.

The Princess of Wales has also spoken about Princess Charlotte's love of sport in the past as she took part in a game of netball rugby at the Maidenhead Rugby Club for her Shaping Us Campaign.

Nigel Gillingham OBE, President of the Rugby Football Union, revealed that Kate had spoken about her three children's love of rugby.

“She was telling me that she regularly plays rugby with her children in the back garden—and lots of other sport,” Gillingham said. “Apparently Charlotte is very much in her mould, very competitive as well apparently.”
