This is certainly not a good look for Prince William, let alone the rest of the British Royal Family. There’s a new report that suggests the Prince of Wales’ Women’s World Cup controversy is calling into question the role of the monarchy.

That’s because despite the fact that Prince William is the president of the British Football Association, he failed to show up at the Women’s World Cup final when the Lady Lionesses played Spain in Australia this past weekend. Here’s what you need to know.
Prince William’s Behavior Has Royal Critics Doubting The Monarchy
One royal expert by the name of Leah Brown certainly didn’t hold back on her disdain for Prince William and his work-shy attitude.
A lot of people have pointed out that if it were the men playing, William would have made the trip to Australia in a heartbeat.
After all, Queen Letizia of Spain managed to be there, so why couldn’t William hop on the plane and do the same?

In an interview with Britain’s Express, Brown, who is the Founder and CEO of Broadstairs Consulting, put it this way, “The primary impact of King Charles not supporting the Lionesses, and the PR stunt played by Prince William using Charlotte to garner public favor when delivering an unpalatable message, is that it calls into question the role of the monarchy in contemporary Britain.”
Prince William’s No-Show At The Women’s World Cup Final Has Critics Upset
Brown also pointed out that Prince William basically abandoned his duties as president of the Football Association, which now apparently falls on King Charles.
She explained, “I have some sympathy for King Charles’ position. In this instance, the nominated individual, namely William shirked his responsibility thus throwing others into the firing line.”
Brown also said that the distance nor all of the talk about not wanting to add to his personal carbon copy by flying to Australia are non-excuses for the royal.

She said, “I am unsatisfied that climate change concerns were the driver behind non-attendance.
It was disappointing to have no state support alongside the Queen of Spain. Charity causes and investments aside, the idea that the royals are anything other than performative suggests this event ought to have been attended at least by a female royal representative.”
