Prince William<\/a> is set to take a major trip abroad this week without Princess Kate<\/a>, Kensington Palace has confirmed. The Prince of Wales, 43, will attend the UEFA Women\u2019s Euro match to watch England play against Netherlands.<\/p>\n

The match will take place on Wednesday in Zurich, Switzerland. Prince William<\/a>, who is patron of The Football Association, is not expected to be accompanied by his wife the Princess of Wales, 43.<\/p>\n

The trip comes just a day after William and Kate take part in the three-day French state visit in Windsor.<\/a><\/p>\n

The couple, along with King Charles, 76, and Queen Camilla, 77, will welcome France’s President, Emmanuel Macron, and his wife, Brigitte, to Windsor for the three-day visit.<\/p>\n

This morning, both the Prince and Princess of Wales will greet the French president and his wife<\/a> on behalf of the King at RAF Northolt and will travel with them to Windsor.<\/p>\n

In Windsor town centre, the King and Queen will formally welcome their French guests on a Royal Dais on Datchet Road, before taking a carriage procession through the Berkshire town and along part of the Long Walk, which leads to the castle.<\/p>\n

A ceremonial welcome will be staged in the castle’s quadrangle with Camilla, William, Kate and Mrs Macron watching as the King and Mr Macron inspect the Guard of Honour.<\/p>\n

Other events are then set to be held, including a private lunch and a state banquet.<\/p>\n

Prince William<\/a>\u2019s attendance at the football game tomorrow also comes just weeks after the prince visited the England team at St George’s Park,<\/a> where he wished the Lionesses good luck.<\/p>\n

During his visit, the future King also personally helped to print names and numbers on the shirts that they will wear in Switzerland for the match.<\/p>\n

It is not known whether Prince William<\/a> will take any of his children with him to watch the big game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William is set to take a major trip abroad this week without Princess Kate, Kensington Palace has…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":247654,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,533,2832,532,70913,95888,95887,95886,2831,7710,519,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-247653","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-kate-middleton","12":"tag-prince-of-wales","13":"tag-prince-william","14":"tag-prince-william-princess-kate","15":"tag-prince-william-switzerland","16":"tag-prince-william-trip","17":"tag-prince-william-uefa-womens-euro-2025","18":"tag-princess-of-wales","19":"tag-royal-families","20":"tag-royal-family","21":"tag-uk-royal-family","22":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114816945065130462","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247653","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=247653"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/247653\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/247654"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247653"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247653"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=247653"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
