Prince William at The Wembley Stadium to Watch FA Cup Final With Manchester City vs Manchester United

Prince William, the Prince of Wales, attended the FA Cup Final at Wembley Stadium on May 25, 2024, in his role as the President of the Football Association. The match was between Manchester City and Manchester United. Prince William was present to meet the teams and to present the trophy to the winners.

This event was part of a series of public appearances by Prince William amid a slowdown in royal duties due to the U.K.’s general election campaign. The Prince of Wales, a passionate Aston Villa fan, took the opportunity to watch the historic final between the two Manchester teams. He was joined by his son, Prince George, continuing a tradition of bringing his children to football matches.

Prince William’s appearance at the FA Cup Final was announced by Kensington Palace and was one of only a handful of engagements made by the Royal Family in the coming weeks, as they postponed engagements that could be seen as a conflict amid the election.
