The monarch has issued a new statement ahead of the Women’s Rugby World Cup Final later. The monarch has sent “warmest good wishes” to both the England Red Roses and Canada Women’s Rugby Team as they are set to play against each other.
The King said in a statement on Saturday morning, : “My wife and I send our warmest good wishes to both the England Red Roses and Canada Women’s Rugby Team as you prepare for your World Cup Final. What a remarkable achievement for both teams to have reached this pinnacle of the sport.
“I know that supporters on both sides of the Atlantic will be cheering with equal and tremendous pride.”
The monarch continued: “May the best team win, and may you both play with the spirit of sportsmanship, determination and true grit that makes rugby such a wonderful game to watch.
“Whatever the result, you have already done your countries proud. Good luck to you all.”
The statement was signed off by King Charles.
The final today is set to take place at Allianz Stadium, Twickenham, with kick off at 4pm BST.
King Charles will not be in attendance at the game, and instead is believed to be at Balmoral Castle in Scotland.
The King usually stays at Balmoral until the end of September.
It is believed Prince William flew to Scotland earlier this week to spend some one-on-one time with his father this week.
