Prince William has been praised for his touching reaction to the Lionesses' Euros 2022 win against Germany on Sunday.

The Duke of Cambridge, who is the President of the Football Association, was beaming with pride from the sidelines during the game, and was down on the pitch to celebrate with the ladies as soon as the final goal was scored.

While shaking hands with all of the players, Prince William went in for a heartfelt hug when he reached team captain Leah Williamson.

The Duke also made a point to go in for a big hug when he reached veteran player Jill Scott, who has been a part of the Lionesses' journey for 16 years.

William had some words for forward Chloe Kelly, who won the game for England after scoring the final goal against Germany.

Fans were impressed with the prince's emotional reaction to the Lionesses' win, and took to social media to commend him.

"What a bloke Prince William is, a kind word for everyone of those girls who did the country proud, some were even getting hugs, fantastic bloke", tweeted one impressed football fan.

Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth was among the first to offer her congratulations after the ladies' win.

In a statement, she said: "My warmest congratulations, and those of my family, go to you all on winning the European Women’s Football Championships.

"It is a significant achievement for the entire team, including your support staff. The Championships and your performance in them have rightly won praise.

"However, your success goes far beyond the trophy you have so deservedly earned. You have all set an example that will be an inspiration for girls and women today, and for future generations.

"It is my hope that you will be as proud of the impact you have had on your sport as you are of the result today."
