In the columns of Mirrorfootballer Jill Scott revealed that she met Prince William a few years ago. “It goes back to about ten years ago, when we took part in a charity event”, remembered the England international. The Duke of Cambridge took part in a soccer match during which he was fouled by the soccer player. “I slipped and tackled him to the side, which eliminated him”, continued the 30-year-old. A tackle that prompted Kate’s husband from Cambridge to ask for a yellow card … of course with humor. However “a few years later”, at Kensington Palace, the father of Charlotte, George and Louis had joked about this story. Moreover, he explained that he had “another scar on the leg from the tackle”.
Two years ago in 2020, Jill was awarded the MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire) for her services to women’s football and the prince sent her a handwritten letter saying: “Keep up the good work.”

You know what, the next time I see him, I might say, ‘Can I come to Buckingham Palace?’ He’s a great guy.” Her friend, striker Ellen White, then explained that the duke “loves Jill” and that “ever since[elles l’ont] met, he goes straight to Jill and talks to her.” “He’s such a nice guy,” she added.
