"Fans criticize Prince William's absence at Lionesses final"

Prince William, president of England's Football Association (FA), has faced criticism for not attending the FIFA Women's World Cup final between England and Spain. In a video message, William apologized for not being able to travel to Australia to support the Lionesses but wished them luck. Fans and opposition leaders criticized his absence, suggesting it reflected the monarchy's attitude towards women in sport. Some reports cited concerns about his carbon footprint and potential diplomatic complications as reasons for not attending. Spain's Queen Letizia's presence at the final further fueled criticism. A YouGov poll showed that 52% of Britons expected the monarch to support the Lionesses in person.
