The Prince and Princess of Wales will support the men at the Rugby World Cup after skipping the Lionesses final

world news

Famous host Jon Sopel had suggested it was “inconceivable” that the prince and Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minister, would not have traveled to Australia if the men’s team had played. Meanwhile, former England goalkeeper Pauline Cope called it a “pity” that the Prince of Wales was not there in person.

It was the first time the Lionesses had reached a World Cup final, and the first time an England football team had appeared in a World Cup final since the men’s team beat England. West Germany in 1966.

The FA chairman Prince of Wales sent personal messages to the Lionesses after their heartbreaking 1-0 defeat but stayed home to watch the game in Norfolk.

No high-ranking members of the British royal family attended the game, but Queen Letizia of Spain – dressed in a patriotic red pantsuit – was present with her 16-year-old daughter, Infanta Sofia.
