In a social media post, the royal added: “Good luck tonight Lionesses, we’re all cheering for you!”
England men’s captain, Harry Kane also paid tribute to the Lionesses, saying: “Hi Lionesses, I just wanted to wish you all the best for today’s game against Germany.
“It’s going to be an incredible experience, incredible atmosphere at Wembley. I can’t wait to be there myself, so I’m wishing you all the best.
“Good luck, go get that win, the whole country’s behind you.”
England will take on eight time champions Germany later on Sunday in a bid to pick up their first major trophy in the history of the women’s game.
On Sunday, the Lionesses will look for revenge against Germany after losing 6-2 in the 2009 Euro final.
Ahead of the game, Boris Johnson and Sir Keir Starmer also paid tribute to the team.
The prime minister said: “Your passion for the game, your tenacity in tricky spots, and above all your astounding talent on the pitch have already created a summer of fantastic memories for millions of us.
“You can see it in the sold-out stadia, in the packed fan zones, in the small children dancing wildly to Sweet Caroline and the TV viewing figures that have seen records crumbling almost as comprehensively as Sweden’s defence did in the semi-final.”
