King Charles sends 'roaring' message to Lionesses ahead of the World Cup Final
The King has sent his own message to Sarina Wiegman and her troops ahead of tomorrow’s World Cup Final, urging them to "roar to victory."
The Lionesses are preparing for England’s first appearance in any world final since 1966 in the morning when they will play European rivals Spain in Sydney.
Earlier today Prince William - President of the Football Association - and his eight-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte shared a message of support on their social media accounts.
Their goodwill messages have now been added to by the King. He said: "Good luck today Lionesses, and may you roar to victory."
Earlier heir William, who is not travelling to for England's clash with Spain, posted a video to X, formerly . He 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.”
Another not making the 10,000 mile journey is Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who had instead dispatched Foreign Secretary James Cleverly and Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer to Australia to represent the UK Government. He has, however, written a letter.
Addressed to England manager Sarina Wiigman, the PM wrote: “On behalf of the entire country, I want to wish you the best of luck against Spain in the World Cup final. Once again, this summer, you’ve made us all proud.

This weekend, like millions of others, I will be watching and cheering you on.
“But whatever the result, I want you to know that you have already secured a lasting legacy: that every girl in this country will have equal access to all school sport, including football.
“For my daughters, and for every girl in this country, you have made football something for them; you have made them feel they belong on the pitch. “So – in a way – you’ve already brought football home.
Mr Sunak’s social media account posted a video of him reading the letter aloud interspersed with clips of him meeting young female footballers and football fans and clips of the Lionesses during the tournament.
