LONDON—The wait for a World Cup title goes on for England, but the Lionesses were still heralded as game changers back home after their loss to Spain in Sunday's final in Sydney. King Charles III, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and a host of other politicians, royals and celebrities were quick…

“Although it’s the result none of us wanted, Lionesses you have done yourselves and this nation proud,” Prince William, who is the president of England’s Football Association, posted on social media. “Your spirit and drive have inspired so many people and paved the way for generations to come.”

“You left absolutely nothing out there @Lionesses,” Sunak posted on social media. “It wasn’t to be, but you’ve already secured your legacy as game changers. We are all incredibly proud of you.” “They’ve taken the game forward in this country more than anyone could ever believe,” 67-year-old Sue Whyatt said. “This should take women’s football throughout the world on to another level altogether.”

Prince William and Sunak were both criticized for not traveling to Australia for the final, opting to stay at home instead. William’s decision was especially noteworthy as the head of the FA, the governing body of English soccer. Queen Letizia of Spain made the trip to attend the final along with her younger daughter Infanta Sofia.
