Jack Grealish gave Prince William his shirt from Aston Villa's win over Cardiff and received a royal decree on his England ambitions in return.
The Duke of Cambridge told Grealish he hoped to see the 22-year-old called up by Gareth Southgate in the near future.
Grealish scored a wonderful volley to earn Villa victory and keep alive faint prospects for automatic promotion to the Premier League.
The heir to the throne, a well-known Villa fan, was in the stands alongside former striker John Carew and celebrated Grealish's goal in front of the televisions cameras.
