Prince William sends nine-word message to Aston Villa’s Ollie Watkins after Euro 2024 winner vs Netherlands
Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins netted the winner against the Netherlands last night to send England to the Euro 2024 final.
England produced their best performance of the tournament on Wednesday evening as they defeated the Netherlands 2-1.
Xavi Simons put Oranje 1-0 to the good with a wonderful strike before Harry Kane levelled from the spot shortly after.
England were probing but couldn’t quite find the second goal until Watkins produced a marvellous right-footed strike from the corner of the box which beat Bart Verbruggen in the 90th minute.
Following the game, Prince William issues a nine-word message to the Villa man.

Prince William congratulates Ollie Watkins
Watkins made all the headlines last night and even received a message from Prince Williams who took to X to congratulate him.
Prince William is indeed an Aston Villa fan so like the rest of the fanbase, he’ll treasure and savour that goal more than most.
Watkins will now be desperate to feature in the final against Spain in some capacity and surely Gareth Southgate will use him as one of the first substitutes.
Ollie Watkins admits he never thought he’d play for England
During the post-match press conference, Watkins reflected on his career and admitted he never thought he’d play for England whilst he was at non-league side Weston-super-Mare AFC.
“I never thought I’d be playing in the Euros for England,” the 28-year-old said, via .
“You can dream but I am a realist, I just take by day and one step at a time. I was just focused on getting back into the first team at Exeter!
“I have put a lot of work to get to this point, not just this season. I will enjoy every moment.”
