England have been bolstered by support from the Duke of Cambridge and his daughter in a video message ahead of their Euro 2022 final against Germany. The Lionesses, who have been widely praised for inspiring more girls to play football, received a “best of luck” message from William while seven-year-old Princess Charlotte said: “I hope you win”.
This echoes support from Prime Minister Boris Johnson who thanked the team for creating “a summer of fantastic memories for millions”. Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer, and England men’s team captain Harry Kane have both also sent their good wishes.
The Euros final is expected to draw the biggest home TV audience on record for a women’s football match, with a packed Wembley Stadium and millions more watching around the nation. In an endearing 10-second video message with his daughter, William said: “We both want to wish the Lionesses the best of luck for tonight.
