Prince William visited the men's England team ahead of the Euros and passed on some advice from his youngest son.
The Prince of Wales - who is the president of the Football Association (FA) - visited St George's Park, where England teams train, to wish them luck before they flew to Germany for the tournament.
He presented the 26 players with shirts, and gave a speech to wish them luck.
He also mentioned that his youngest son, Prince Louis, had made a suggestion to help the squad this summer.
Prince William spoke with Jill Scott, Ollie Watkins and Harry Kane.
The prince said: "I was on the school run this morning with the children and I said 'What shall I say to the England team today?'
He said his youngest son Prince Louis offered this advice: "The best bit of advice I got [for] you was to eat twice the amount you normally would eat.
"So I then had visions of all of you running around with massive great tummies and loads of stitches on the pitch, so I think maybe take my youngest's advice with a pinch of salt." he said.
England Captain Harry Kane chuckled and said: "I don't think our nutritionist will be happy".
Prince William also spoke to a junior football team during his visit to St George's Park.
The team will take on Serbia in their first match on Sunday, and then face Denmark and Slovenia next week.
The UEFA Euro 2024 tournament begins on Friday with Scotland playing the first match against hosts Germany.
