Prince William led tributes to Harry Kane as Wembley honored the England captain on his record-breaking 126th appearance for the national team. The milestone cap came during a match against Croatia.
Kane, who recently received the Ballon d'Or, surpassed legendary goalkeeper Peter Shilton to become England's most capped player. He walked onto the pitch with his children before kick-off.
Shilton presented Kane with a medal commemorating his achievement, and former Tottenham teammate Luka Modric also offered a gift. Prince William then joined Kane on the pitch to present him with a framed shirt bearing the inscription 'Kane 126'.
In addition to his appearance record, the 33-year-old striker is also England's all-time leading scorer with 91 goals, ahead of Wayne Rooney and Sir Bobby Charlton. Prince William had previously lauded Kane's Ballon d'Or win on social media, calling him a "brilliant captain, a remarkable player and someone who has given football fans across the world so many unforgettable moments."
Kane reflected on his career, admitting to a drive to be the best and expressing a desire to continue improving. He noted the potential for younger teammates like Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice to surpass his appearance record but believes his goal record will be more difficult to break. Kane also stated his ambition to reach 100 England goals and ensure he has no regrets about his career when it concludes.
