Prince William watches the Women’s FA Cup Final at Wembley

Prince William enjoyed an afternoon out at Wembley today – taking a seat in the stands at Wembley Stadium for the Women’s FA Cup Final.   

The 40-year-old Prince, a passionate Aston Villa fan and President of the FA, has been a vocal supporter of the Women’s game, presenting the Lionesses with their Euros trophy last summer.   

Seen singing a rousing rendition of God Save the King, the Prince donned a smart suit for the occasion.  

The Blues are strong favourites against United. Emma Hayes’s side have won 13 trophies in the last 11 years and victory over United will secure the FA Cup for the third year running. Meanwhile, United are making their first cup final, first Wembley appearance and a first chance of silverware  manager Marc Skinner.

Last night, the Princess of Wales made a spectacular surprise appearance at the Eurovision finals.  

The royal, 41, opened the show with a touching piano performance tribute to Ukraine, wearing a beautiful bespoke off-the-shoulder Grecian-style gown by one of her favourite UK designers, Jenny Packham. 

The flowing gown, crafted from ‘Sapphire’ chiffon, trailed to the floor – and over the piano pedals – as the Princess of Wales played alongside last year’s Ukrainian winners, the Kalush Orchestra.

A long-time fan of British designer Jenny Packham, the Princess wore a similar grey gown in 2011 to attend a charity gala at St. James’s Palace in London.

Kate has worn the royal ‘fringe’ earrings for several high-profile occasions including Donald Trump’s State Visit in 2019. 

Kate’s beautiful vibrant blue Jenny Packham gown, worn as she played piano to open Eurovision on Saturday, replicated the blue of the Ukrainian flag, as she played alongside the war-torn country’s Kalush Orchestra

An accomplished piano, Kate previously tinkled the ivories in public in 2021 at the Royal Carols: Together At Christmas play a rendition of ‘For Those Who Can’t Be Here’ by Tom Walker.

An estimated worldwide audience of 160 million are thought to have watched last night’s show.

Each of the 26 acts fought to get their hands on the coveted glass microphone trophy, but it was Sweden who stormed to victory, with their act Loreen making history as the first woman to win the competition twice.

Loreen won with a staggering 583 points, followed closely by Finland. Ukraine meanwhile scored an impressive 243 points after rocketing up the leaderboard thanks to the public vote.

But the UK’s Mae Muller looked crestfallen as the scores for her performance were read out, and she ended the night with just 24 points despite being among the top ten favourites going in.
