England’s hopes of a World Cup victory ended Wednesday evening
as Argentina scored an overtime goal and ran out the clock 2-1, and
back home, the Prince of Wales shared his sadness and pride in the
Three Lions.
“Gutted,” William wrote on the Kensington Palace social
media accounts.
“England, you gave it everything and we are all so proud of
you.
“Thank you to everyone on and off the pitch, for an
incredible tournament. The fight and belief you have shown has
inspired us all. The most complete England team in a tournament.
Hold your heads high.”
The future king signed off personally with a ‘W’.
King Charles also shared a message from the Royal Family
accounts, writing: “Commiserations to Harry and the team. While
you Three Lions may be licking your wounds today, you remain the
pride of a nation – and will rise again.”
England has not
won a World Cup since 1966, when they hosted the tournament, but
has advanced to the semi-finals in 1990, 2018, and 2026.
William has been supporting the Three Lions from afar throughout
the World Cup, sharing a personal message with every victory.
“This is a special team,” he wrote after the Three
Lions defeated Norway in the quarter-finals.
While England remains hopeful for victory in a future World Cup,
Argentina advances to the final match on Sunday, where they’ll face
off against Spain.
King Felipe, Queen Letizia, Princess Leonor and Infanta
Sofía—a
good luck charm for
Spanish national sports teams—have already confirmed they will
attend the match in New Jersey.
The
Spanish royals shared a video of the Royal Family watching
Spain defeat France from a Barcelona hotel room, all wearing
Spanish team jerseys with their names—Felipe VI, Letizia, Leonor
and Sofía—and the number 26 on the backs.
“You’ve once again proven why you’re one of the world’s
great teams. Now, with an entire country by your side, the moment
has come to fight for the title,” the Spanish royals said.
