Frank Skinner has revealed that football-mad Prince George “insists” that his dad plays his Euro 96 anthem Three Lions every morning.
The comic recorded the song with David Baddiel and The Lightning Seeds in 1996 – some 17 years before the young royal was born.
Appearing on Lorraine, Frank said Prince William – who is the head of the Football Association – revealed the news when he met him at the Royal Variety Performance late last year.
