Prince William apologized for not attending the Women’s World Cup final in person to cheer on the Lionesses in a video message with Princess Charlotte.
The Prince of Wales, who is also chairman of the Football Association, has faced major backlash over his decision not to travel to Australia for England’s first World Cup final since 1966.
Sitting on a bench next to his daughter Princess Charlotte, William said: “Lions, I want to send you a huge good luck for tomorrow.
“We’re sorry we can’t be there in person, but we’re so proud of all you’ve accomplished and the millions you’ve inspired here and around the world. So go tomorrow and really have fun.
A beaming Charlotte, who is holding a soccer ball in the short clip, added: “Good luck Lionesses!”
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is also not expected to attend tomorrow’s final against Spain, fueling fresh criticism – as the government frantically rushed Foreign Secretary James Cleverly to Sydney to back the team by Sarina Wiegman.

Kensington Palace confirmed earlier this week that the Prince of Wales will not be making the trip Down Under. He will instead roar at the Lionesses – who are playing their first-ever World Cup final – from home.

“The President of the Football Association, Prince William, is not bothering to attend, the licensing laws have not been relaxed, there will be no screens in Trafalgar Square, and there is no There’s been no word of any sort of big celebration if they win.
“This last minute scramble to show support for the Lionesses by our leaders is not only embarrassing, it reveals how little they think about women’s sport.
“You can guarantee there’s no way the men’s football team will be treated with such contempt and disrespect.”
