The Prince of Wales has written to Truro City captain Connor Riley-Lowe to wish the club well ahead of their first season in the National League.
Prince William, who is also Duke of Cornwall, has sent his message as the club becomes a fully professional side for the first time.
The club were promoted last April in their first season back in Cornwall, having played out of the county for almost four years as they awaited a new ground to be built in Truro.
The Prince of Wales is a keen football fan – he is an avid Aston Villa supporter and is president of the Football Association.
He was among the party that presented England with the Euro 2025 trophy last month having watched the final against Spain in Switzerland with Princess Charlotte.
“Prince William has asked me to pass on his warmest congratulations in getting promoted to the National League as Cornwall’s first professional team.
“This comes with the Duke of Cornwall’s very best wishes. Good luck to The Tinners.”
Truro City begin their season with a trip to Wealdstone on Saturday before their first home league game of the a season a week later against York City.
