PRINCE William gave a surprise send-off to the Lionesses yesterday before they fly off to the Euros.
The Prince of Wales presented the team with their shirts at the FA’s St George’s Park ahead of their journey to Switzerland.

He chatted with coach Sarina Wiegman and team captain Leah Williamson.
William is also aiming to fly to Switzerland next month to cheer on the Lionesses as they defend their crown.
The Prince is throwing his support behind the national women’s team — just as in 2022 when he was at Wembley to watch them win the title.
Wills will attend at least one group game, maybe more depending on his royal commitments.
Meanwhile his Duchy of Cornwall estate vowed to cut rents on charities.
Yesterday, chief executive Will Bax said: “We will waive rents for grassroots community tenants.”
He also pledged to halve rents on charities active in local communities.
It comes after questions on Duchy incomes were raised on Channel 4’s Dispatches.
It was also revealed the Duchy surplus, which pays for the Waleses’ role in the Royal Family, fell from £23.6million to £22.9million this financial year.
Wills pays the top rate of tax on his income from the estate. He promotes affordable housing through the Duchy.
