London, Jul 11 (IANS): Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, has extended his best wishes to the England team ahead of the Euro 2020 final against Italy on Sunday.

On Saturday, William's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, had sent her good wishes in a letter to England manager Gareth Southgate.

"I want to send my congratulations and that of my family to you all on reaching the final of the European Championships, and send my good wishes for tomorrow with the hope that history will record not only your success but also the spirit, commitment and pride with which you have conducted yourselves," concluded the Queen.

England face off against Italy to decide the winner of Euro 2020 at Wembley Stadium.
