A question everyone wanted answered
The Prince of Wales, 43, is currently on a three-day trip to Saudi Arabia, undertaken at the request of the UK government to strengthen diplomatic ties.
On Tuesday, William visited MISK Sports City in Riyadh, where he met a group of young female footballers. While the visit focused on sport and youth development, it quickly took a more personal turn.
After posing for a group photo, one of the girls asked the prince a simple but charming question.
“Did Princess Kate come with you?”
William smiled as he explained that his wife had not joined him on this trip. The answer prompted an audible wave of disappointment from the group.
“Oh!” The exchange immediately delighted royal watchers.
‘They would love it here’
The conversation did not end there. The girls encouraged William to bring his family to Saudi Arabia, clearly eager to welcome the Princess of Wales and the royal children.
William responded warmly.
“They would love it here,” he said.
He then joked about his own children’s passion for football.
“My children love football, but you guys are another level.”
The prince continued with a playful remark that drew laughter.
