It is important to highlight that Prince William has served as the president of the Football Association since 2006 and has been a staunch advocate for women’s football.
His absence from the final in Sydney does not diminish his dedication to the sport and its athletes.
As the Prince and Princess of Wales embark on their upcoming journey to France, their return from summer vacation signifies the start of a bustling period ahead.
