Following England's 2-1 victory in the Euros 2025 Final on Sunday, King Charles extended his congratulations to the Lionesses. The final, held in Switzerland on July 27th, saw the team triumph over Spain. Prince William and Princess Charlotte were present in the crowd to support the team.
The King took to social media shortly after the win to express his congratulations. He acknowledged the team's achievement, their manager, and the entire support staff. He referenced the long-standing chant of "football's coming home," noting the pride in the Lionesses making the words a reality. He conveyed his family's appreciation and admiration for their accomplishment.
Furthermore, the King highlighted the team's resilience, emphasizing their ability to turn setbacks into victories. He also looked ahead, challenging the team to focus on the upcoming World Cup in 2027. His message concluded with his signature, "Charles R."
A poll was conducted to gauge public opinion on whether the King should honor Sarina Wiegman, the team's manager. The poll, which ran from July 28th to July 29th, saw a majority of the 1,538 voters supporting the idea. Many expressed their belief that she deserved recognition for her achievements and contributions to women's football.

If only the King would show this level of enthusiasm for issues like climate change or poverty.

Why do we even need the monarchy to acknowledge a sports team? It’s so outdated.
