Overview
- Kensington Palace told Fox News Digital there are currently no public plans for a U.S. trip, tempering reports that Prince William will attend the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
- The Mirror had reported that William was expected in the U.S. for the tournament and that both princes could be at England’s match in New Jersey, prompting reunion talk.
- William is president of England’s Football Association, a position often cited by commentators as a reason he might show up to cheer the national team at World Cup games.
- Fox News reported claims that he may bring Prince George, with one author noting the usual royal practice that direct heirs do not fly together after age 12 without special permission.
- The renewed chatter follows King Charles III’s well-received April state visit for America’s 250th anniversary, which has sharpened interest in any subsequent royal appearances in the U.S.
