Lionesses fans have voiced frustration after the Royal Family posted a good luck message ahead of the Euros final, but player Michelle Agyemang appeared to be missing from the post.
England's Women's team is heading into Sunday’s final match against Spain following their heartbreaking World Cup final loss in 2023.
To mark the occasion, King Charles offered words of encouragement on social media, praising the team’s “remarkable” journey and “inspiring” achievements, alongside well-wishes for the final.
Attached to the post was a celebratory graphic featuring smiling members of the Lionesses squad; however, fans immediately noticed Agyemang was absent.

“Where is Agyemang?” wrote one eagle-eyed supporter, sparking a wave of similar comments.
Agyemang, 19, has been instrumental in England’s progress through the knockout rounds. She scored an 81st-minute equaliser in the quarter-final against Sweden to send the match to extra time and penalties, and again came to the rescue in the semi-final, netting a dramatic 96th-minute leveller against Italy.
That goal paved the way for Chloe Kelly to complete the comeback deep into extra time, securing a 2-1 win and sending England into their second consecutive Euros final.
Despite Agyemang’s crucial contributions, she was not featured in the Royal Family’s celebratory image. While she is a newer member of the squad – making her debut as recently as April when she scored 41 seconds after coming on against Belgium – fans were quick to point out her importance.

Some also noted that other players, such as back-up goalkeepers Khiara Keating and Anna Moorhouse, were also missing from the graphic. However, neither has featured in the tournament so far, whereas Agyemang’s goals were decisive.
One fan wrote: “I don’t see Michelle anywhere” with a sad face emoji.
Another commented: “Your Royal Family media manager doesn’t know there's a player called Michelle Agyemang that grabbed your equaliser in the last 2 games? You’d have been out last week otherwise.”
One reply read: “Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, where is Agyemang?” while another added: “Where is Michelle? I think you need to update your photo.”
