Travelling to St George's Park, the national football centre in Burton upon Trent, Prince William met the squad and spoke with coach Gareth Southgate ahead of their first match against Serbia on Sunday.
"I was on the school run this morning with the children and I said, 'What shall I say to the England team today?'" he said. "The best bit of advice I got to ask you was to eat twice the amount you normally would eat.
"So I then had visions of all of you running around with massive great tummies and loads of stitches on the pitch so I think maybe take my youngest's advice with a pinch of salt."
He presented shirts to each of the 26 players selected for the Euro 2024 team and heard from their coach about their preparations for the tournament.
England, who were beaten 1-0 by Iceland in their final warm-up friendly on Friday, will first face Serbia in Germany on Sunday night.
The heir to the throne is an avid football fan, and along with his eldest son Prince George has been seen at various football matches over the years.
Last month, Prince William was spotted in the crowd as his favourite team, Birmingham-based club Aston Villa, took on Greek team Olympiacos F.C.
In April, the royal dad took Prince George, ten, to watch their beloved Aston Villa win against Lille OSC during the UEFA Europa Conference League quarter-final match.
Prince William has always been open about his appreciation for the sport. During a previous chat with footballers Harry Kane and Declan Rice, the Prince revealed that he has football to thank for some of his closest friends, telling the sportsmen that he has "a lot of friends" he met through playing football in his youth.
"Some of the greatest friendships are born from playing games and being pushed together in slight adversity," he continued.
Princess Kate's husband continued that playing huge games of football are some of his fondest memories from childhood. He recalled playing four simultaneous games of football with his entire set at school – around 60 pupils – using multiple balls.
"The sheer size and scale and just the fun of everyone running around chasing each other, I loved it," he recalled. "I was a defender, I was stuck at the back and told to just tackle."
