Prince William has delivered a powerful rallying cry to England's Lionesses ahead of their highly anticipated UEFA Women's Euros final, urging them to seize the moment and make history.
The Prince of Wales, who serves as President of the Football Association, expressed his admiration for the team's "remarkable journey" through the tournament, particularly their dramatic comeback victories that have captured the nation's imagination.
A Royal Boost for the Lionesses
In his message, William emphasised how the entire country is "immensely proud" of the team's achievements so far. "You've shown incredible determination and skill throughout this tournament," he said. "The way you've fought back in crucial moments has been nothing short of inspirational."
The Nation's Hopes Rest on Shoulders
With England preparing for their biggest match in women's football history, the Prince acknowledged the weight of expectation but reminded the players: "Remember how much joy you've already brought to millions. Whatever happens, you've made us proud."
The royal message comes at a pivotal moment for the Lionesses, who are aiming to bring home England's first major football trophy since 1966. Manager Sarina Wiegman has described the squad as "fearless" and "ready to make history."
From Royal Support to National Celebration
Football fans across the UK are preparing for what could be a landmark weekend in English sport. Viewing parties are being organised nationwide, with pubs expected to be packed as the nation unites behind their team.
As kick-off approaches, the Prince's words have added to the growing sense of anticipation: "The whole country will be cheering you on - go out there and show the world what you're made of!"
