Prince William: Prince of Wales sends message of support to Truro City before National League debut

The Prince of Wales is a keen football fan – he is an avid Aston Villa supporter and is president of the Football Association.

He was among the party that presented England with the Euro 2025 trophy last month having watched the final against Spain in Switzerland with Princess Charlotte.

“Prince William has asked me to pass on his warmest congratulations in getting promoted to the National League as Cornwall’s first professional team.

“This comes with the Duke of Cornwall’s very best wishes. Good luck to The Tinners.”

Truro City begin their season with a trip to Wealdstone on Saturday before their first home league game of the a season a week later against York City.

They are the first team from Cornwall to ever reach the fifth tier of English football and the fourth side form the county to go fully professional.
