The Prince of Wales has apologised to the Lionesses for not attending the Women’s World Cup final following criticism of his decision not to fly to Australia.

In a video released on Saturday, the Prince wished the players luck for their clash with Spain in Sydney on Sunday, saying he was sorry he could not attend.

He sat alongside Princess Charlotte, eight, who also wished the Lionesses luck while holding a football.

The Prince, who is president of the Football Association (FA), said: “Lionesses, we want to send you a huge good luck for tomorrow.

“We’re sorry we can’t be there in person but we’re so proud of everything you’ve achieved and the millions you’ve inspired here and around the world.

“So go out there tomorrow and really enjoy yourselves.”

A grinning Charlotte added: “Good luck Lionesses.”
