Prince William slammed for Women's World Cup snub as Queen of Spain makes appearance

Prince William has been slammed by football fans after he decided he will not attend the FIFA Women's World Cup final.The Prince of Wales, who is the President of the Football Association, was at Wembley when the Lionesses beat Germany to secure Euro 2022 glory last summer.However, Kensington Palace has now confirmed that the Prince will not fly to Australia to cheer the team on in the final, and instead he will watch the match on television.It is understood that the decision was made because it would involve flying across the world for a very short period of time.The announcement comes as a blow to England fans as it coincides with the news that Spanish royalty will fly out to watch the Lioness's World Cup final clash, reports the Mirror.Spain's Queen Letizia will head out on a day-long, 9,400-mile trip to Sydney, Australia, later this week so she and her daughter, Infanta Sofia, can cheer on the Spanish women's team.House of Lords member Baroness Foster has slammed the Prince of Wales, branding the decision 'sexist'.She wrote: "Unbelievable.

Prince William advised not to go to Women’s World Cup final in Oz due to cost and ‘green agenda’.This is unacceptable and sexist.

As Head of @FootballAssoc and a senior Royal he should be there. If it were a men’s final there’d be no debate!"Royal expert Christopher Wilson also called out Kate Middleton on Twitter, telling her it is "not too late" to fly to Australia for the August 20 match.

He wrote: “Ooops...own goal from Team Windsor. But it's not too late to book your ticket, #Kate - the Lionesses need your support."Mr Wilson added that Spain scored an early goal in "world optics" by having royals attend the match.
