Following Kensington Palace’s message on X, in which both the Prince and Princess of Wales congratulated the Red Roses, fans were quick to voice their opinions.
One user wrote under the post: “Well done to England’s Roses today on their World Cup win. Just a shame that the Princess of Wales, as their Patron, was unable to be there today.”
A second one added: “I’m a real royal supporter, especially of the Prince and Princess of Wales. However, HRH Catherine should have been there today at the final; earlier appearances don’t negate not being there to support the team at the final.”
A third account shared a similar view, saying: “Where was the Royal Family and the government today? Shouldn’t they have been at Twickenham cheering on our remarkable women in the World Cup. Is it only tennis and football that they attend?”
A final one agreed: “Very disappointed that no Royal attended the final. It’s not often England host a World Cup Final & even less often England win it. Where is Kate as head of the English RFU?”
The Princess of Wales had earlier wished the Red Roses good luck by sharing a personal message and a previously unseen photo from her visit to their match on September 6 against Australia, in Brighton.
She wrote: “Good luck England! Wishing the very best of luck to the @RedRosesRugby in their Women’s Rugby World Cup Final at Twickenham today. We’re so proud of you! C.”
