Britain's Prince Harry confidently predicted that England would lift the World Cup as Gareth Southgate's men prepare for their semi-final against Croatia.

Asked during a visit to the Irish President's residence in Dublin on Wednesday whether football was "coming home" to England, Harry replied "most definitely."

The phrase comes from a 1996 soccer anthem "Three Lions".

Harry and his American wife Meghan began a two-day visit to the Irish capital on Tuesday, their first trip abroad since their wedding in May.

Harry, whose brother William is the President of England's Football Association, is due to leave Ireland later on Wednesday and return home to England in time for kick off.
