Prince William, a longtime supporter of Aston Villa FC, has shared a heartfelt message for England’s women’s football team as he heads to Basel, Switzerland.
Posting to social media, the Prince of Wales wished the Lionesses well ahead of their UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 final match.
“Good luck to the Lionesses tomorrow,” William wrote. “The nation is so proud you are through to the final, after some stunning comebacks!”
He added, “We are all cheering you on!” and signed the message simply with a “W.”
Following England’s 2-1 victory over Italy in Tuesday’s semi-final, William had earlier praised the team, saying: “Brilliant performance @Lionesses! One game from glory!”
