Prince Charles backs Wales' Euro charge

Lyon — Britain's Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, has sent a message to the Wales football team, wishing them luck in Wednesday's European Championship semi-final match against Portugal.

"As you prepare for what will be - so far - the most important night in the history of Welsh football, I did just want to send you all my special thoughts and wishes," Prince Charles said.

"Throughout the whole championship, you have set an inspiring example of teamwork and sportsmanship and I have no doubt that in this latest game you will continue to give your country even greater cause for pride."

"Dymuniadau gorau ichi I gyd," ("Best wishes to all of you"), the heir to the throne wrote in the Celtic language of Welsh.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
