Prince William is Catching a Lot of Heat This Week for Not Attending the Women’s World Cup Final in Australia. Here’s Why

Prince William

The video seemed innocuous enough: Prince William and his daughter, Princess Charlotte, wishing England’s women’s soccer team—known as the Lionesses—good luck on Saturday ahead of their FIFA Women’s World Cup final against Spain today. “Lionesses, want to wish you a huge good luck for tomorrow,” William said as he sat next to Charlotte outdoors on a bench. “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.” Charlotte, holding a soccer ball in her lap, added “Good luck, Lionesses!”
