FOOTY fan William got lessons in managing during difficult times with ex-boss Neil Warnock.
The retired football boss managed 16 different clubs in a 42 year career and met the Prince of Wales, 43, at Mousehole AFC, in Cornwall.
Neil posted the photo of him and famous royal with the funny caption: “Always happy to oblige when a fan wants a selfie.”
