TV presenter Dan Walker caused a stir when he took to social media on Sunday to show his support for the Lionesses as they gear up for their first Women’s World Cup final. He mentioned the fact that Prince William won’t be at the game in Australia and wrote on Twitter and Instagram, “I hope the Lionesses get it done today. Not sure why some people are getting so angry about Prince William not going to the game. We all know he’d get hammered for the cost & climate impact of flying all the way to Australia for one football match. Come on England.”
On Instagram, Dan added in his caption, “Having said that… if I was him… I’d be there with the whole family.” But his post didn’t go down well with some of his followers, who thought Prince William should have been at the game.
In a video message shared before the final, Prince William, who is the president of the Football Association, apologised for not flying out to Sydney to watch the game and cheer on the Lionesses in person. He cited the cost and climate impact as the reasons for not attending.
One follower tweeted, “Normally I’d agree with you Dan, but I think we all know he’d have been out there if it was the men.” Another wrote, “I don’t agree Dan, we all know if it was the men’s world cup final he would be there and rightly so, he should of gone on this occasion and taken his family with him.”
The Agency has reached out to Dan’s reps for comment but in the meantime, Bend It Like Beckham star Parminder Nagra is also throwing her support behind the Lionesses. It's sure to be an epic game!
