Charles III concerns himself with the blood pressure of English fans before the EM-Finale

Charles III sends his "heartfelt congratulations" for reaching the semifinals against the Netherlands and his "best wishes" for the final on Sunday against Spain. The English team should keep the pressure of the country in mind: "If I were allowed to encourage you to secure the win before it comes to last-minute wonder goals or another penalty drama, I am sure that the collective heart rate and blood pressure of the nation would be significantly reduced."

Charles referred to the rather nerve-wracking tournament run for the English team: There was a last-minute equalizer in the regular time of the round of 16 against Slovakia, a penalty shootout win against Switzerland in the quarterfinals, and on Wednesday evening in the semifinals, the winning goal came in the 90th minute.

Prince of Wales Prince William also praised the team excessively. He was at the game against the Netherlands in Dortmund in the stadium and is expected to travel to Berlin for the final as well. New British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who followed part of the game at the NATO summit in Washington, will cheer on the English team live from the stands at the final in Berlin.

Charles III expressed his excitement for the EM-Finale, urging the English team to secure an early win to alleviate the country's collective heart rate and blood pressure. His sentiments echoed the tense tournament run, marked by a last-minute equalizer against Slovakia, a nerve-wracking penalty shootout against Switzerland, and a dramatic winning goal against the Netherlands in the semifinals. Fans across England, including Prince William, eagerly await the final match against Spain, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer set to join them in the Berlin stands.
