Internet applauds Prince William's social media comeback amid school break with Kate Middleton, children
LONDON, UK: Prince William, currently enjoying a break with his family during his children's school holiday, has made a return to social media after a hiatus following Kate Middleton's cancer treatment announcement.
The Prince of Wales, 41, took a moment away from his family time to acknowledge a significant event in British soccer.
Prince William makes social media return
On April 10, he shared a heartfelt message on X and Instagram Stories in response to the international retirement of Rachel Daly, a standout player on Aston Villa and England’s women’s national soccer team, the Lionesses.
"Thank you for so many unforgettable performances with @Lionesses, @RachelDaly3," Prince William wrote on the official Kensington Royal account he shares with his wife.

Adding a touch of sentiment, he continued, "Plenty more goals for Villa now!" Daly, while retiring from international duty, intends to continue playing at the club level, where Prince William's allegiance to Aston Villa runs deep. His 10-year-old son, Prince George, shares his passion for the team.
Identifying himself with his signature "W," the Prince of Wales reiterated his support for Daly by reposting her photo montage announcing her retirement from the England Lionesses.
Prince William, who serves as the president of the Football Association, often engages with social media discussions surrounding significant developments in English soccer.
Daly, a pivotal figure in the Euro 2022 championship-winning Lionesses squad and a key player in the team's journey to the 2023 Women’s World Cup final, has received praise and support from Prince William in the past. He visited the Lionesses' training camp and personally congratulated Daly after the Euro victory in July 2022.
Additionally, both Prince William and his daughter, Princess Charlotte, 8, have previously shared their well wishes for the team on social media. In August 2023, they recorded a video message together, expressing pride in the team's achievements and wishing them luck before significant matches.
