Prince William has said sorry for not attending the Women’s World Cup final in person as he and Princess Charlotte wished the Lionesses “good luck” for the game.

In a video posted to social media on Saturday, William said: “Lionesses 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 everything you’ve achieved and the millions you’ve inspired here and around the world.

“So go out there tomorrow and really enjoy yourselves.”

A grinning Princess Charlotte, clutching a football and seated beside him, added: “Good luck Lionesses.”

William faced criticism after it was confirmed he would not be attending the final between England’s Lionesses and Spain on Sunday.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has also been slammed for not planning to attend England’s first World Cup Final since 1966.

The Lionesses beat Australia 3-1 to secure their place in the final, but William, who is head of the Football Association, will not be there to cheer the Lionesse on.

Kensington Palace confirmed His Royal Highness would not be jetting off Down Under with reports it would involve flying across the world for just a short period.

It is understood that Queen Letizia of Spain will be in Australia for the final, but no member of the British royal family will be present.

Royal fans welcomed Prince William’s message, which was posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, at 4.24pm on Saturday (August 19).

One supporter, posting from an account named RoyallyBelle, tweeted: “Lovely message of support, and wonderful to see Princess Charlotte! So proud of our Lionesses, wishing them the best of luck for tomorrow!”
