I go with El Diablo. I'm not a British myself, so I'm one of those who wonder why your princes only support English team.
The royal family is the "guardian" (or whatever u called it) of the United Kingdom, right? "United" does mean something...

Anne supports Scotland but it's rather strange Harry supporting England as he likes to be called Wales in the army.
I didn't see the prince of wales supporting Wales
I've never seen any of them support Northern Ireland

I've seen William and Harry at Welsh matches both soccer and rugby.
In rugby the Irish team is drawn from both Ireland and Northern Ireland. So I don't think it would go down well if one of the Royals turned up dressed in what is mainly a Republic of Ireland team.

The Princess Royal is patron of the Scottish Rugby Union and often attends Scotland matches. Her son, Peter Phillips played for the Scotland U23 team.

Anne supports Scotland

well maybe if Wales, Scotland or Ireland actually made it past a few rounds they might feel enticed to do so.
But main reason is that the are English. I will support scotland , wales and ireland on the TV but i wouldn't actually go and watch a match live (unless they were playing England)

Its just not true the Princess Royal (Anne to you) goes to virtually every Scottish Rugby International. Her son actually qualifies to play for Scotland.

It is logical that the royals would be supporting England because they are the royal family of England, however, I see your point.

Most of us have come to term witht he fact the royal family are English. But respect to Prince Charlie who does put a kilt on occassionally.
