Excuse me, Kate and Wills, but the Matildas deserve a future Head of State who backs them too.

To catch up on all things Matildas and the 2023 Women's World Cup, check out our hub page here.

"There's a good chance Prince William could make a surprise visit to Australia this week," reports have been saying.

How exciting! 

We're a part of the monarchy and the Matildas are playing England tonight. It makes total sense.

No. 

Don't get too excited.

William wouldn't be coming to see us. He would be coming to see the Lionesses.

See, Kate and Wills are big football fans. 

They often attend matches and publicly support both the men's and women's teams (as you can see above).

And that's all good and well, but tonight's game is different.

The Lionesses are playing against us, Australia, and Kate and Wills are our future King and Queen and our future Head of State.

But they forgot that detail.

We get it. 

Your country is playing tonight. 

That's who you go for. Obviously.

But you could've given the Matildas a little nod. 

Your flag still features in ours, after all.
