England have suffered an agonising defeat in the Women’s World Cup final.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Millie Bright and England were beaten in the Women’s World Cup final<\/p>\n

The Lionesses were beaten 1-0 by Spain in Sydney as they missed out on adding the World Cup to the European Championship they claimed last summer.<\/p>\n

Olga Carmona’s first-half goal proved to be the difference between the two teams as Spain won the tournament for the first time in their history.<\/p>\n

England goalkeeper Mary Earps saved a penalty from Jennifer Hermoso in the second half to keep the Lionesses in the game but they were unable to force an equaliser.<\/p>\n

England did hit the bar in the early stages of the game through Lauren Hemp with the score at 0-0 but Sarina Wiegman’s side were ultimately left heartbroken in Australia.<\/p>\n

\nPrince William – whose decision not to attend the match had caused controversy – thanked the team for doing “this nation proud” despite the disappointing outcome.<\/p>\n

\nKensington Palace confirmed that William had watched the game alongside his wife Catherine, Princess of Wales and their children – Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – at home in Sandringham.<\/p>\n

\nIn a personal message on X, formerly known as Twitter, the 41-year-old royal wrote: “Although it’s the result none of us wanted, @Lionesses you have done yourselves and this nation proud. <\/p>\n

\n“Your spirit and drive have inspired so many people and paved the way for generations to come. Thank you for the footballing memories. Congratulations to Spain. W.”<\/p>\n

\nPrime Minister Rishi Sunak also posted to say that everyone was “incredibly proud” of the team’s efforts at the tournament.<\/p>\n

\nHe said: “You left absolutely nothing out there Lionesses. It wasn’t to be, but you’ve already secured your legacy as game changers. We are all incredibly proud of you.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
