The former Three Lions midfielder had a chance encounter with a member of the royal family at a diner.
Legendary English footballer Paul Gascoigne met Prince William by chance. The stars crossed paths at Pret a Manger in Bournemouth, which opened as part of his Homewards program to fight homelessness.
A member of the royal family visited him and was surprised to see a famous former football player among the restaurant’s employees and guests.
Not believing his eyes at first, Prince Velsky asked: “Is it really you?”, After that he had a good conversation with the former player of Tottenham and the England team.

Afterwards, a representative of the royal family said it was “a very interesting morning”, according to The Guardian.
It is worth noting that on the same day, Prince William also visited the Vitality Stadium, where Ilya Zabarny plays as Bournemouth. The prince wanted to know about the club’s work in the community to support those at risk of homelessness, as well as the intention to expand their projects within Homewards.
Over the next five years, Prince William’s initiative is expected to expand Pret a Manger by 40%, helping at least 500 people find work.
We remind you, Prince Harry first attended the MLS match to see Lionel Messi play.
