PRINCE William has slammed vile racists who posted messages of abuse to three young black Lions after last night’s heartbreaking defeat.

The royal – who was at yesterday’s game with wife Kate and son George – said he’s “sickened” at the disgusting trolls who targeted Bukayo Saka, Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho.

Prince William has spoken of his fury after vile trolls launched racist attacks on young Lions after last night’s heartbreaking defeat

The Duke of Cambridge, who serves as president of The FA, tweeted: “I am sickened by the racist abuse aimed at England players after last night’s match.

“It is totally unacceptable that players have to endure this abhorrent behaviour.  

“It must stop now and all those involved should be held accountable. W.”

The prince was seen punching the air last night – before the evening ended with tears for England after a mighty fight against Italy.

After the loss, racist morons began attacking three of the team’s black players with monkey emojis and vile abuse.

Boris Johnson is among those to condemn the sick jibes.

“This England team deserve to be lauded as heroes, not racially abused on social media,” he said.

“Those responsible for this appalling abuse should be ashamed of themselves.”

The Met Police has vowed to launch a probe.

The force said: “We are aware of a number of offensive and racist social media comments being directed towards footballers following the Euro 2020 final.

“This abuse is totally unacceptable, it will not be tolerated and it will be investigated.”

And Home Secretary Priti Patel tweeted: “I’m disgusted that England players who have given so much for our country this summer have been subject to vile racist abuse on social media.

“It has no place in our country and I back the police to hold those responsible accountable.”
