LONDON: The UK’s royal King Charles III has felicitated England’s women football team after their victory against Australia. The King shared a very meaningful post to congratulate the “mighty” Lionesses after they defeated the Australian side to reach the World Cup final.
He praised both sides for making the countries proud amid Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s current stunts and claims, apparently sending a message to his son with his choice of words.

The #FIFAWWC Final awaits for the @Lionesses! 👏
