Britain's Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, has sent a message to the Wales football team, wishing it luck in Wednesday's European Championship semifinal match against Portugal.

"As you prepare for what will be - so far - the most important night in the history of Welsh football, I did just want to send you all my special thoughts and wishes," Prince Charles said.

"Throughout the whole championship, you have set an inspiring example of teamwork and sportsmanship and I have no doubt that in this latest game you will continue to give your country even greater cause for pride."

"Dymuniadau gorau ichi I gyd," ("Best wishes to all of you"), the heir to the throne wrote in the Celtic language of Welsh.
