"Very Harsh" Criticism Of Prince George Could Mean He's "Kept Out Of Limelight" In The Future

Jul 14, 2021

Prince George is not like any other kid in the world — he is most certainly going to be the King of England one day, so he will be protected at all costs, but nothing could shelter the young prince from England's devastating loss in the Euro 2020 final game on July 11, 2021.

As the game went into overtime and left fans around the world at the edge of their seat once it progressed into penalty shots, it was clear that one side would be devastated by the loss after such a fast-paced and exciting match. As England came to terms with their loss, George too was one of the people in the stadium who was deeply affected by the loss.

However, there were some exciting events throughout the match as well, such as England scoring their first goal early on. When this happened, George took the chance to embrace his mom and dad out of sheer joy, and fans loved seeing the rare public display of affection between the royals. 

George attended the England vs. Italy match at Wembley Stadium in London with Prince William and Kate Middleton. This was his second time attending a Euro 2020 match with his parents — his first public match with his parents had ended far more happily after England defeated Germany and went ahead into the semi-finals on June 29, 2021. The sweet moment between George and his parents was caught on camera, as was his unfettered delight at the prospect of a potential win, and it showed that Geroge is just like any other kid when it comes to soccer. 

News.com.au reported that royal fans have gone wild for Prince George's reaction when it came to England's early goal during the England vs. Italy game. England's first goal was scored by Luke Shaw in the first two minutes, which was a dream start and raised hopes of English fans across the world and warranted some celebration. In the stands, George joined in and showed that he is just a regular kid as he joyfully jumped up and down. George reportedly begged Kate and William to let him attend the match, and it seemed quite worth it as England's chances of a win kept strong even up until the end. 

George wore a fitted suit that matched his father's, which he had done previously when he attended the England vs. Germany match that saw England progress onto the semi-finals. After this, George was labeled as England's "lucky charm" according to the news outlet. The Euro 2020 final gave England the opportunity to fight for the cup, which they have not won since 1966. Naturally, the devastating loss was deep for all English fans in the stadium, and George could not hide his distress either at the end of the nail-biting game. 

However, the sweet moment where George hugged his parents in glee has already captured hearts across the world. After watching the video, one fan commented, "One of the sweetest royal moments ever! It's not surprising that the babies are such cuddle monsters. With W&K as their parents, the little ones will grow up just as affectionate. They've already inherited their parents' love of sports."

Sadly, many people online were not as happy to see George as George was to see the game. In fact, many Twitter users commented negatively on the suit the young prince was wearing following the finals game.

Robert Jobson, co-author of the book Diana: Closely Guarded Secret, told Sunrise TV show in Australia that the mockery the young prince was subjected to for wearing a suit and tie in the VIP box at the England vs. Italy Euro 2020 final on Sunday (July 11) might have far-reaching consequences.

The Daily Star reports Jobson as saying:

"With George, he got quite a lot of social media attention. Some were critical about him wearing a shirt and tie like his dad which I thought was very harsh. He has been very popular but I think they are going to try and keep him out of the limelight a little bit.

They are very conscious of that. The pictures were great with his dad when he was celebrating for that all too brief moment."

Some of the critics merely complained that a boy as young as Prince George shouldn't be wearing a suit and tie at the sporting event. As one Twitter user puts it:

"Prince George should be in an England shirt not a suit and tie. He’s 7 years old for god sake!"

Others, however, went for far more hurtful comments, wishing the young prince would cry when his team lost or even calling him names. It is completely understandable that his parents will not want to subject their son to such harsh words at his young age.
