But William has now hit back at Sheen’s remarks, instating he’ll be cheering on for both teams during the tournament which begins on Sunday.
In a visit to the Welsh parliament, William told Elin Jones, Llywydd of the Senedd, that he could not have ‘suddenly’ dropped his support for England, who he has supported in football since he was a child. He described Wales getting into the World Cup as a big deal and said when he was growing up ‘Wales didn’t get through to the tournaments’ so he had to ‘make a choice’.
He said: “I’ve supported England since I've been quite small, but I support Welsh rugby and that's my kind of way of doing it. I happily support Wales over England in the rugby. "I've got to be able to play carefully with my affiliations because I worry otherwise if I suddenly drop England to support Wales then that doesn't look right for the sport either. So I can't do that.
