Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, revealed on social media that he suffered an embarrassing moment during a charity event with footballer Jill Scott, who recently announced her retirement. “A pioneer of Women’s football and a great team player,” Prince William wrote on Twitter. “@jillscottjs8 congratulations on a wonderful career, it’s been a pleasure to get to know you.” The second in line to the throne then added, “Tiny bit pleased there won’t be any more slide tackles during ‘friendly’ kickabouts…”
Royal fans were confused by that last sentence, until Scott explained on her podcast that 10 years ago, she slipped, slide tackled, and “wiped out” William during a charity event. “The running joke whenever he’s seen us was like, ‘No yellow cards this tournament Jill,'” she said on her BBC podcast “Jill Scott’s Coffee Club,” per Hello! Magazine.
Luckily, there are no hard feelings on the duke’s part. In fact, William has been a big supporter of Scott’s team, the Lionesses, through the years. He filmed a video with his daughter, Princess Charlotte, to wish them team good luck during the Euro finals, and William was on hand to present them with their medals after their win over Germany.
