Royal Fan!

Is it a truth or a faux? You decide.

Her Majesty The Queen is a keen Arsenal supporter for more than 50 years. It was reported that her late mum was a loyal Gunner fan. It seems amazing but it is the truth according to the Sun Newspaper.The Queen had presented many soccer trophies in her lifetime. However, it was never revealed which club is her favorite.

All this changed in February this year when she let loose the fact that Arsenal is her club of choice at an official function at Buckingham Palace attended by many famous Gunners.Fabregas stated that Her Majesty chatted with him during the function, exchanging pointers on Arsenal’s football club and about her good pal King Juan Carlos of Spain. She hinted directly (in no uncertain terms) that she is an Arsenal Fan.

A senior royal source quoted,” The Queen has been fond of the Gunners for over 50 years. Her late mother was a self-confessed Gooner due to her admiration of their former player Denis Compton.” Arsenal were invited to the Palace after a back injury forced the Queen to pull out of opening their new ground, the Emirates Stadium, last October. Another source, Mr John Pollex, said, “The Queen once told me that she is an Arsenal Supporter!”

The tradition looks set to run on in the family as Prince Harry, 22, has also shown HIS support for the North London giants — visiting both their old home Highbury and the Emirates Stadium.
