Prince William's Absence at Women's World Cup Final Sparks Controversy and Concern

Prince William, president of the Football Association, has apologized for not attending the Women's World Cup final in Sydney and wished the England women's national team good luck. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is also not expected to attend. Sports broadcaster Gabby Logan criticized their absence, questioning whether they would miss a men's World Cup final. England will face Spain in the final, with the opportunity to become the first England football team to win a World Cup since 1966. The government has no plans for an extra bank holiday if England wins, but both Labour and the Liberal Democrats have called for one.
