Prince William May Bring Prince George to the US for the First Time Soon: ‘Over the Moon With Excitement’

Prince William may be taking a trip to the U.S. with his son and future heir to the throne.

There has been speculation over the last few months as to whether the Prince of Wales, 43, would travel to the states for the FIFA World Cup, which runs from Thursday, June 11, to Sunday, July 19. The Times reported in December that William “will attend in his capacity as patron of the Football Association.”

In a Fox News Digital article published on Wednesday, May 20, author Christopher Andersen claimed William is potentially planning to take his and Princess Kate‘s children — Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8 — to the FIFA World Cup. A friend of the family told Andersen the family is “over the moon with excitement,” noting George is “a passionate soccer fan.”

“This would mark the first known visit to the U.S. by two future kings traveling together,” Andersen explained. “This would also mark the first time the Wales children have ever set foot on American soil.”

“Prince William is president of England’s Football Association. As such, he is expected to cheer on England’s team in the World Cup,” Andersen noted. “[King] Charles and [Queen] Camilla‘s state visit was also an unqualified triumph. Along with Kate Middleton’s equally successful trip to Italy, palace officials were prompted to green-light one more high-profile visit, this time by the brightest stars in the royal firmament.”

Amid the speculation, a Kensington Palace spokesperson told Fox News Digital: “There are currently no public plans for a trip to the U.S. Hoping for a great performance from England, though!”

However, the outlet pointed out that William doesn’t need to make his trip an official public visit like King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s state visit in April, when they met with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. Rather, it can be a personal vacation.
