The 40-year-old Duke of Cambridge, who became president of the Football Association in 2006, announced that he will attend the final of England’s first major women’s tournament as they prepare to face Germany on Sunday. The Lionesses roared into the Euro 2022 Final after beating Sweden 4-0 at Sheffield United’s Bramall Lane in front of 28,624 people.
Prince William congratulated England on their victory.
He said: “The whole country is so proud of everything you achieve.
“We believe in you and will be with you all the way!”
When Gareth Southgate’s England side suffered a penalty shootout against Italy at Wembley last July, the Duke was joined by his wife Catherine, also 40, and Cambridge’s nine-year-old son, Prince George.

The Duchess of Cambridge is expected to return to England’s national stadium to cheer on the Lionesses.
However, the MailOnline has claimed that Princess Charlotte, seven, could join her mother and father for the historic clash.
William recently told the Lionesses that his daughter was an avid footballer and especially enjoyed playing in the net.
He told the team, “Charlotte wanted me to tell you she’s really good at goal.”
