The Prime Minister and the Prince of Wales, who is also president of the Football Association, did not attend the Women’s World Cup final.
The Prime Minister would not have attended the men’s World Cup final either, as his schedule is “so busy”, an education minister has said.
Making an appearance on Sky News on Monday morning, Claire Coutinho was asked whether the PM and William’s absence suggested they are just paying lip service to the women’s game. “And I think the travel time is probably difficult. But I know how proud he is of the Lionesses. We all are. It’s an amazing achievement to get to a World Cup final. It’s absolutely extraordinary.”
On the Women’s World Cup final, she said: “I’m sure he would have loved to have been there. He’s a huge football fan. And he’s got two daughters. And he’s been so excited about the Lionesses.” He added: “I’d like nothing more than to be able to watch England play around the world. I love football. I love sport. I love cheering on England.
