PRINCE William was seen enjoying the FA cup final with baller pals before match kicks off.

Wills was spotted at the Crystal Palace Manchester City fixture this afternoon having a grand time with footballer mates.

The Prince of Wales was seen hugging Jack Grealish and shaking hands with Haaland before the match kicked off.

The two gave each other a thumbs up before coming in close for a friendly embrace.

Prince William, 42, then shook hands with the players of both teams as they lined up pre-match.

He offered a few words and a smile to Haaland before the FA cup final kicked off.

It was a bittersweet moment for Will who’s team, Aston Villa, were previously knocked out of the semi-finals.

William is next in line to the throne after his father, King Charles III.

Eberechi Eze gave Crystal Palace a dream start against Man City in the FA Cup final in the first half.

City had a chance to equalise before Omar Marmoush missed a penalty for the favourites.

The Eagles have never lifted a major trophy in their 120-year existence as a professional club.

However, Pep’s men earned their spot by beating a then-in-form Nottingham Forest in the previous round, and will be desperate to secure silverware despite having a well below-par campaign.
