Prince William is off to one of his favorite sporting events amid the slowdown in royal outings due to the U.K.’s general election campaign.
William, 41, is heading to the showpiece end of the English soccer season on Saturday. He is set to attend the FA Cup final between teams Manchester City and Manchester United at Wembley Stadium in London.
The Prince of Wales, who is President of the Football Association — the governing body of the sport in England and Wales — will hand over the trophy to the winners of the match. He also typically greets the players before the game kicks off.
William is attending despite some of his royal engagements being postponed or canceled due to the announcement of an upcoming general election in Britain. Earlier this week, royal engagements slated for the rest of the week were canceled after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, on May 22, called the surprise general election.
Charles had an outing planned for May 23 and two more on May 24. The palace hopes to reschedule the stops. William also had a royal outing scheduled for this week that was abruptly canceled. The royal family will continue to postpone engagements “which may appear to divert attention or distract from the election campaign,” Buckingham Palace said in a statement on May 22.
