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.”

British royal Prince Harry is reportedly receiving help from his brother William as he prepares to start the hardest stage of his flying course.

Harry, 24, will start four months of intensive flying training in June in his bid to become an Army combat pilot.

It is claimed Harry and brother Prince William, who is passing on all his knowledge of Squirrel helicopters after completing the training, have even turned down nights out to study for the next stage.

Harry has been in “ground school” in Shropshire while he prepares for the next stage.

A source said: “William is proving an excellent coach for his younger brother.

“He has just completed his Squirrel training so everything is fresh in his mind.”

The source added: “The brothers share a house and have spent hours in the evenings preparing for Harry’s first flight.”
