The King has led a chorus of praise for the “awesome” Lionesses after their European Championship victory on Sunday.
After Sarina Wiegman’s side clinched a nail-biting win against Spain on penalties, he said England had showed “there are no setbacks so tough that defeat cannot be transformed into victory, even as the final whistle looms”.
Prince William and Princess Charlotte, who watched the match from the stands in Switzerland, said they “couldn’t be prouder” of the side.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, who was also in attendance, called the team “history makers”.
