King Charles has the best reaction to England win – read

King Charles had the best reaction as the Lionesses secured a historic victory in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 final against Spain.

The squad won 3-1 on penalties after going to extra time on Sunday 27 July. 

The monarch shared a heartfelt message following the nail-biting match, praising the team’s resilience and spirit after their dramatic win on penalties.

The King told the England team: “This brings you, your manager and all your support team my most heartfelt congratulations on winning the EUROS 2025. 

“For more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant ‘football’s coming home’.  

“As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true.”

He continued: “For this, you have my whole family’s warmest appreciation and admiration.  

“More than that, though, you have shown through your example over past weeks that there are no setbacks so tough that defeat cannot be transformed into victory, even as the final whistle looms. Well done, Lionesses.  

“The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can! Charles R”
