Spain’s Queen Letizia (C) lifts the trophy as Spain’s players and officials celebrate after winning the Australia and New Zealand 2023 Women’s World Cup final football match between Spain and England at Stadium Australia in Sydney on August 20, 2023.

  • Spain won their first FIFA Women’s World Cup on Sunday.
  • The royals of Spain were at the game to celebrate with the team.
  • Meanwhile, the British royals received backlash for not attending.

Spain won their first Women’s World Cup on Sunday, beating England by 1-0, with Olga Carmona scoring the winning goal.

Spanish Queen Letizia and Princess Infanta Sofía joined the team to celebrate their victory. The two royals watched the game at the Stadium Australia in Sydney alongside the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino.

In a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, Prince William wished the English team good luck and apologised that his family would not be there in person. According to CNN, Prince William was criticised online for not attending the game.

“We’re so proud of everything you have achieved and the millions you have inspired here and around the world. So go out there tomorrow and really enjoy yourselves,” he said.

After the game, Prince William wrote on X that although they didn’t achieve the desired outcome, the English team still had done the nation proud.

“Your spirit and drive have inspired so many people and paved the way for generations to come. Thank you for the footballing memories.”
