LIVE: Prince William forced to apologise after backlash over Women’s World Cup snub
Britain’s Prince William apologised Saturday for not travelling to Australia to attend the Women’s World Cup final on Sunday, in which England will take on Spain.
“So go out there tomorrow and really enjoy yourselves.” Princess Charlotte, who has a football balanced on her lap, added: “Good luck Lionesses.” The game kicks off at 8pm AEST in front of an anticipated sell-out crowd of about 75,000 at Stadium Australia. The two sides last met at the European Championship last summer, when hosts England squeezed into the semi-finals 2-1 in extra time and went on to lift the trophy.
“But for us there is a process, we have a game plan to execute and we need to play the game of our lives.” Chelsea attacker Lauren James is back from a two-match ban for stamping on an opponent in the last-16 victory on penalties over Nigeria.
