Prince William is heading to Germany to watch England play in the Euro 2024 quarter final as his brother, Prince Harry, has been defended for the decision to give him an award for veterans.

A petition calling for a “rethink” on the decision to give the Duke of Sussex, 39, the Pat Tillman Award for his work with the Invictus Games,  has surpassed 63,000 signatures.

The late Tillman’s mother, Mary, was amongst the people who believe there are more deserving recipients, but the sporting network behind the award, ESPN, has defended its decision, hailing the “incredible” work of the games.

“While we understand not everyone will agree with all honorees selected for any award, The Invictus Games Foundation does incredible work and ESPN believes this is a cause worth celebrating,” a spokesperson told Sky News.

Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales will attend England’s match against Switzerland on Saturday, Kensington Palace has confirmed.

The Prince, who is the president of the Football Association, will be present to cheer on Gareth Southgate’s team in Dusseldorf as they seek to secure a place in the semi-finals.
