Prince William surprised football fans at Wembley by joining the pre-match celebrations for Harry Kane.
The Prince of Wales stepped onto the pitch ahead of England’s Nations League clash with Croatia, where he greeted Kane and handed him a framed England shirt bearing his name and the number 126.
The milestone made Kane England men’s most-capped player, taking him beyond Peter Shilton’s previous record of 125th appearances.

William shook hands with the striker before posing for photographs alongside him as Wembley erupted in applause.
Kane had already shared the moment with his family before the match, walking onto the pitch alongside his four children as he led England out for the fixture.
There was another emotional reunion for the captain when former teammate Luka Modrić joined the celebrations.
Although the Croatia midfielder was not in the starting XI, he presented him with a especially made replica of the first football believed to have been brought to Croatia.
The historic ball references an 1880 event in the Croatian town of Županja, where English industrialists introduced the sport.
Peter Shilton, whose record had stood for decades before Kane surpassed it, was also involved in the celebrations.
He presented Kane with his commemorative cap before William followed with the special shirt.
Harry’s appearance also came with another major milestone already under his belt, following his Ballon d’Or triumph.
