The England royal family are all supporters of Arsenal. Royal sources even revealed that the Queen has been a fan of the Gunners from over 50 years. Queen Elizabeth II’s mother, the late Queen mother, and Harry, the Queen’s grandson are also supporters of the Gunners.

The revelation came after the Queen met the Arsenal team and manager Arsene Wenger at a reception in Buckingham palace in 2007. The Queen was reportedly a huge fan of Cesc Fabregas and the Spanish midfielder who was 19 at that time spoke to Spanish radio about his experience:

"It seems the Queen follows football and she told us she was an Arsenal fan. She appeared to definitely know who I was and we exchanged a few special words."

A royal source even confirmed to the Sun about the Queen’s allegiance:

“Her Majesty has been fond of Arsenal for over 50 years. Her late mother was a self-confessed Gooner, due largely to her admiration of their former player Denis Compton."

Other famous Arsenal fans include Fidel Castro, Jay-Z, Roger Waters and Peter Gilmour.
