British royals Prince William and Harry will be supporting England’s World Cup Campaign next year.

The two princes are big football fans and will join the 60,000 English fans that are expected to travel to South Africa for the competition.

William, 27, is the Football Association’s president and will play an important part in the UK’s bid to host the 2018 World Cup.

Harry, 25, will also be flying out and is hoping to highlight the problems in the HIV/AIDS-plagued area of Lesotho.

A source said to British newspaper The Sun: “Plans are still being drawn up, but both princes will be given time off from their military duties to attend.

“They love football and are keen to be there to support England, but also see this as the perfect opportunity to focus attention on Lesotho. They are also expected to play in a football match in Lesotho.”
