Among those fortunate enough to be inside the Stade de France for the England-France 2007 Rugby World Cup clash was Prince Harry, who yesterday personally congratulated the England team on their 14-9 victory.
Harry wore an England shirt for Saturday night’s game and shouted with joy and raised both arms to the sky as Wilkinson and his team overcame France to book a place in their second successive final.
The prince spent the night in the team hotel and yesterday met the players as they enjoyed a day off.
He chatted with Wilkinson for several minutes, asking him to talk him through the match-winning points he scored in the dying minutes of the clash.
One guest said: “He congratulated Jonny and wished him the best of luck for the final. He looked delighted to get to speak to him in person and say ‘well done’ for such a phenomenal performance.”

Since I’m not a Britons, I’ve got a question for the Brit ppl: Is the Royal Family should be supporting England team only or also Wales, Scot, and N Ireland too? Bcoz all I see is they support only England team.
I mean, as patron (or whatever u called it) of those 4 regions, aren’t they supposed to also support the other 3 teams instead of just 1? After all, “United” in the “United Kingdom” means something, right?
