Former goalie Pauline Cope slammed the absence of the prince and the prime minister and said: 'Let’s be honest, if it was the men’s World Cup, they would all be here.”
The Prince of Wales is facing a continued backlash over his decision not to attend the Women’s World Cup final in Australia.
Cope, who has 60 England caps and played in the 1995 World Cup, told Times Radio: “Let’s be honest, if it was the men’s World Cup, they would all be here.” It is the first time the Lionesses have reached the final of a World Cup, and the first time an England football team has competed in a World Cup final since the men’s side beat West Germany in 1966.
The prince, joined by his daughter Princess Charlotte who was clutching a football, said: “Lionesses, we want to send you a huge good luck for tomorrow, we’re sorry we can’t be there in person but we’re so proud of everything you’ve achieved and the millions you’ve inspired here and around the world.It is understood William made the decision not to go because a trip to Australia would involve flying across the world for a very short period of time.
