Lip reader exposed bizarre ‘insult’ Prince William muttered during tense Euros moment
As the Women’s Euro 2025 tournament begins, fans are recalling Prince William’s memorable behavior at last year’s men’s final. The Prince of Wales and his son George, 11, attended England’s clash against Spain in Berlin, where their passionate reactions went viral.
Body language expert Darren Stanton noted William displayed unusually raw emotion during the match, chanting with the crowd and punching the air when Cole Palmer equalized. The typically composed royal appeared relaxed, sharing the excitement with his football-mad son.
During tense moments, father and son were seen leaning forward nervously, biting their nails. Their joy turned to disappointment when Spain’s late goal secured a 2-1 victory. William later tweeted support for the team, writing: “This time it just wasn’t meant to be.”
The match also produced an odd moment when William reportedly muttered “sausage” under his breath after dismissing an interruption. Lip reader Nicola Hickling suggested he said this after telling someone their request “was already requested.”
Now attention turns to the women’s tournament in Switzerland, running until July 27. Sixteen teams will compete, with England’s Lionesses facing France in their opening match on Saturday.
Fans hope for better fortunes than last year’s men’s final, where William and George’s emotional investment was clear. Their visible passion highlighted the royal family’s genuine love for football.
As the women’s competition unfolds, all eyes will be on whether England can replicate their 2022 Euro triumph – and whether any royal spectators will match William and George’s viral reactions this time around.
