Prince Willian wished the 23-player squad good luck ahead of the match.<\/p>\n

Taking to Instagram, Prince William said: “Good luck to the Lionesses tomorrow. The nation is so proud of you are through to the final after some stunning comebacks! We are all cheering you on!”<\/p>\n

William, who is the President of The FA and an avid Aston Villa supporter, travelled to Germany for the men’s Euro 2024 final with Prince George<\/a> last year. The royal father and son were seated in the same box as King Felipe of Spain<\/a> and Infanta Sofia.<\/p>\n

This is the latest sporting appearance from Prince William since his attendance at the Lionesses’ earlier match against the Netherlands in Zurich.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s also been a big sporting month for Princess Charlotte<\/a>, who was also seen attending the Wimbledon<\/a> men’s final earlier in the month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Royal friends<\/p>\n

Prince William and King Felipe of Spain are both descendants of Queen Victoria, meaning they’re distant cousins.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The two royals share not only a distant relative, but also a mutual love for sport, and they’ve developed a respected friendship over the years.\u00a0<\/p>\n
