Prince Harry sends sweet message about England through Archie during World Cup

As England squares off against Norway in a do-or-die match in the 2026 World Cup, Prince Harry has made it clear what his feelings are for the Three Lions.

The quarter-final will take place in Miami, and the Duke of Sussex is said to take the front seat in the match.

Though Harry, along with his family, moved to the US in 2020, his English pride remains rock-solid.

Meghan Markle, his wife, offered a glimpse into her husband's support for the team when she shared a series of snaps marking Father's Day.

In one of the photos, Archie was wearing a T-shirt with the England World Cup while cuddling his dad during the 2026 World Cup.

According to The Mirror, the snap was a heartfelt nod to the family's roots in Britain.

Despite his strong support, Harry previously reportedly refused to say three famous words associated with the England team.

It was a throwback event revealed by Brian O'Driscoll, former Ireland rugby captain.

He shared back in the 2018 World Cup when he met Harry at a garden reception in Dublin and asked him a key question: "I asked him, 'So, is football coming home?'

But Harry, at the time, refused to say the three-word phrase.

"But he refused to say it. I think he just said he isn’t as confident as everyone else about England winning tomorrow."

"He said he won’t say it because he doesn’t want to jinx it," O'Driscoll recalled.

The phrase is a popular slogan sung by fans over the years whenever England has taken part in tournaments.

Now, as the Three Lions is again in the spotlight for a knockout match, the stakes have never been so high as on July 12.
