Prince Williams meets the England team in the dressing room

Casual: The prince caught goal-scorer Gary Cahill half dressed after the match to pass on his congratulations

He may have been just another one of the thousands screaming from the stands as England thrashed Peru three goals to nil.
But Prince William couldn't resist making a trip down to the Wembley dressing room at full time to pass on his personal congratulations.
Greeting the exhausted and towel-clad victors, the Duke also wished them luck for the fast-approaching World Cup.

Discussions: He had lengthy chats with every member of the 23-man squad, including captain Steven Gerrard
