PRINCE Louis' advice to the England squad has been revealed by his dad William - as he gave the team a royal send-off before Euro 2024.
Wills, who is President of the FA, visited the squad at St George's Park to wish them good luck before they jet off.
The Prince of Wales chatted to Three Lions boss Southgate before presenting shirts to each of the squad members.
William told the players how his children had offered them a hilarious piece of advice.
He said: "I was on the school run this morning with the children and I asked them what I should say to you today.

"The best bit of advice I got to ask you was to eat twice as much as you normally eat.
"I don't have visions of all of you running around with massive red tummies and getting stitches on the pitch.
"So I think maybe take my youngest's kind of advice with a pinch of salt."
England skipper Harry Kane jokingly said: "I don't think our nutritionist will be happy with that advice."
Schools from across the Midlands have also been invited to St George's Park to attend a festival of football during which schoolchildren will play friendly fixtures against each other.
William attended England's games in Euro 2020, which took place in Euro 2021 due to Covid, but gave the Qatar World Cup a miss.
