England boss Tuchel meets Prince William
England manager Thomas Tuchel met the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle on Tuesday.
William was keen to learn Tuchel's plans for the England team as the German prepares to start his reign with World Cup qualifying campaign in March.
The Prince, who succeeded Queen Elizabeth II as patron of the Football Association last year following his time as FA president, is a noted Aston Villa fan and has often been seen at England matches.
Kensington Palace posted an image of the Prince and Tuchel shaking hands, alongside the message: "Great to meet with new England men's manager Thomas Tuchel today, and hear about plans for the team."
Tuchel began his role as England boss on January 1 after the FA confirmed last October that the former Chelsea and Bayern Munich had been appointed as Gareth Southgate's successor.
The 51-year-old, who was accompanied at Windsor Castle by FA chief executive Mark Bullingham, is the third non-British permanent manager of the men's team after Sven-Goran Eriksson and Fabio Capello.
Tuchel will name his first England squad next month for the World Cup qualifiers against Albania and Latvia at Wembley.
England are looking to win their first major trophy since the 1966 World Cup after twice losing in the European Championship final under Southgate.
