Two people who couldn't wait to congratulate the team were Prince William and Princess Kate who wasted no time in writing a touching and well-deserved message.
Taking to the official social media platforms of the Lionesses, the Prince and Princess of Wales penned: "Bring on the semi-finals! A hard-fought win, well done @Lionesses."

Meanwhile, a third penned: "Congratulations, @Lionesses! Stellar performance and well-deserved victory. All eyes on the semi-finals! #FierceAndProud."

The little Princess, eight, took part in a touching video filmed alongside her dad. In the wholesome clip, the father-daughter duo wished the team the best of luck.
Speaking directly to the camera, Prince William kicked off by saying: "We both want to wish the Lionesses the best of luck for tonight. You've done amazingly well in the competition and we are rooting for you all the way." Princess Charlotte finished by adding: "Good luck, I hope you win. Bye."

The future King subsequently shocked fans when he proceeded to hug various members of the England squad. His rare display of public affection swiftly went viral, with many social media users praising William's genuine pride.
The Prince became president Football Association back in 2006, and since then hasn't stopped showing support for his home team. In 2015, the father-of-three opened up the doors at Kensington Palace the Lionesses for a very special brunch.
"What you created as a team – it's fantastic. You're only going to get bigger and better," he told them at the time, and he couldn't have been more right!
