Festive goodwill took a backseat to sibling rivalry when Princes William and Harry faced each other in a traditional Christmas football match.

But the brothers ended the game on good terms with a friendly hug – after drawing 2-2.

Soccer-mad Harry – still sporting a full ginger beard – had bragging rights over older sibling William, 31, after scoring a goal in the Christmas Eve match.

His strike, from the edge of the area, made the game 1-1 in the 25th minute, after his brother’s side had taken an early lead.

Despite being president of the Football Association and wearing the claret and blue socks of his beloved Aston Villa, Wills failed to score any goals.

However, both brothers seemed to be having a great time as they exchanged jokes and banter with other players.

The princes play the match – between Castle Rising and the Sandringham estate workers and villagers team – every year near the estate in Norfolk.

Around 100 locals turned out to cheer the teams on.
