The Duke of Cambridge has garnered loads of praise for doing exactly what royals are supposed to do. Royal experts, Chris Ship and Lizzie Robinson while talking with ITV’s Royal Rota shed light on Prince William’s campaign with England women’s national football team captain Steph Houghton.
Prince William took part in the encouragement of the team and his presence was well felt. The captain has praised the Duke for centering the attention on the psychological aspect of football rather than just focusing on physical competencies required to excel in the game.
