Prince William and Princess Charlotte have teamed up for the sweetest reason as the royal father-daughter duo shared a sweet message for the Lionesses ahead of their historic World Cup final match against Spain on Sunday.

The video, which was shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales' social media accounts showed William and his daughter sitting on a bench, with Charlotte holding onto a football. "Lionesses, we want to send you a huge good luck for tomorrow. We're sorry we can't be there in person, but we're so proud of everything you achieved and the millions you've inspired here and around the world. So, go out there tomorrow and really enjoy yourselves."

Charlotte, who was smiling sweetly all throughout the video, then added: "Good luck Lionesses!"

The royal pair both rocked a smart-casual ensemble for their video, with William in a blue shirt and jeans, while Charlotte looked glam in a striped shirt and shorts. Their close bond was on full display, as William had his arm lovingly wrapped around his daughter.
