Fans in England have criticised Prince William after he posted a video message saying he is “sorry” for not travelling to Australia to support the Lionesses as they take on Spain in the FIFA Women’s World Cup final.
William, who is the president of England’s Football Association (FA), sent his “good luck” and apologised to the women’s team in a video message late on Saturday. But fans said the royal family’s heir’s attitude showed the monarchy’s “actual attitude” towards women in sport.
