England boss Sarina Wiegman was left speechless when Prince William paid a surprise visit to St George's Park to award her with an honorary CBE.
Wiegman, who took charge of the Lionesses in September 2021, was appointed as an Honorary Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) "for services to association football" last December. The Dutchwoman's England tenure has been incredibly successful so far, with the Lionesses having amassed four pieces of silverware - including the EURO 2022 trophy - under her stewardship.
While non-British nationals are usually presented with a CBE by the Foreign Office, the Duke of Cambridge did the honours personally while visiting the national football centre on Tuesday afternoon.
