Michelle Agyemang displays true colours as she shows Sarina Wiegman how she feels
Michelle Agyemang emerged as an England hero during the Lionesses' triumph at Euro 2025 and the forward has spoken honestly about manager Sarina Wiegman England hero Michelle Agyemang has revealed how Lionesses' manager Sarina Wiegman played a crucial role in her success during Euro 2025. The Lionesses defended the European Championship trophy after a thrilling penalty shootout victory over Spain. Agyemang may not have been one of the penalty takers in the final, but she contributed significantly to England's triumphant campaign. Despite having only one previous appearance before the tournament, scoring on her Lionesses debut in April, the 19-year-old was named in Wiegman's squad. The manager's bold decision paid off as Agyemang quickly established herself as England's super-sub, netting late equalisers against Sweden and Italy in the knockout rounds. The young Arsenal prospect had nothing but praise for Wiegman when asked for her thoughts on the England boss. "I think Sarina's amazing," Agyemang told Sky News. "I only met her probably three months before the tournament and to see the faith she put me in from day one, to make my debut in April. "To only have one appearance going into the Euros, to show that faith and that trust in me, shows how lovely she is as a woman and a coach. "She's like a mum to the team. She respects all of us and she wants the best for us. You can see it, we all want to play for her, for the rest of the team, and to go and win the game for her because she deserves it." Wiegman has now guided England to consecutive European Championship victories, after the team's Wembley triumph over Germany to win Euro 2022. The Lionesses' most recent silverware represents the first occasion that either the men's or women's senior team have claimed a major tournament on foreign soil. Agyemang wasn't included in the England squad until this year, but did have the chance to watch the Lionesses closely as a ball girl during one of Wiegman's first matches in charge at Wembley in 2021. Despite her lack of experience, Agyemang claimed the Young Player of the Tournament award and has truly impressed the England boss. "She has something special," Wiegman said following Agyemang's 96th-minute semi-final goal against Italy. "She's only 19 years old, she's very mature, she knows exactly what she has to do. "When you talk about little things that she picks up straight away, because she's not only in the 18-yard box very dangerous but when we have to go to her as a target player, she keeps the ball really well too. "Even when you saw her shot hit the crossbar, that was not just a shot, she was aiming for it. If she continues like this she has a very bright future." Agyemang earned her England call-up following impressive displays on loan at Brighton in the WSL last season. Wiegman revealed that Agyemang's approach to her loan spell showed that the young striker, who now boasts three goals in five England appearances, would thrive at international level. When asked whether Agyemang's performances had caused a selection dilemma during the tournament, the England manager explained: "She's not forcing me. She is very grateful that she gets minutes. She's ready for it. Her growth and development went so quickly. "From not starting at Brighton and being on loan, to getting lots more minutes, showing how good she is, and coming into our team, as things go it has been pretty smooth for her and I think she feels very good about that."

Prince William and Kate's 'intelligent' Princess Charlotte plan after Harry issue
It's recently been claimed that the Prince and Princess of Wales plan to raise their three young children in a way that tries to avoid the "emotionally stunted pitfalls" of the past Prince William and Kate Middleton may have a plan to help Princess Charlotte avoid a pitfall suffered by her uncle, Prince Harry, it has been claimed. William and Charlotte were seen last month (Sunday, July 27) enjoying the Lionesses' triumph at the Women's Euro 2025 final at St Jakob‐Park in Basel, Switzerland. One expert suggests that Charlotte's presence at the match indicates a new approach to an age-old issue concerning Royal siblings. This problem has allegedly affected Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, and even Princess Margaret, Queen Elizabeth's late sister. It revolves around the concept of the "spare" Royal who feels "overlooked and purposeless". In an article for the I, royal commentator Richard Palmer suggested that the Waleses are keen to prevent any one child from receiving preferential treatment, thereby sidestepping the "spare" issue. He elaborated: "In a Royal Family traditionally focused on the need to create an heir to the throne, and then a spare just in case something goes wrong, the Waleses want their children to have emotional security instead of giving special treatment to the chosen one." The parents, in contrast to King Charles, are prioritising their children over Royal duties. Furthermore, Royal insiders informed Richard that Charlotte "has inherited her mother's poise and an inner strength and confidence". The decision to bring her to witness the Lionesses ' Euros triumph could signal preparation for her future role. American Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith suggests the young princess could well undertake official duties on behalf of the sovereign in this so-called "slimmed-down" Royal Family, potentially involving sports. She told the i Paper: "I think this is an intelligent way to do it. I would imagine Charlotte will be part of the picture. I'm not so sure about Louis." The phrase "Spare" will likely strike a chord with Royal observers as it served as the title of Harry's explosive 2023 memoir. In the book, Harry shocked the world by revealing private details about his relatives. Subsequent reports suggested that these disclosures had probably damaged the Duke of Sussex's bond with his family, particularly his father, King Charles, and brother, Prince William. Harry famously withdrew from his royal duties and relocated to Montecito, California, alongside his wife, former actress Meghan Markle, and their two children, Archie and Lilibet. Last week, rumours emerged that the Prince and Princess of Wales may relocate from Adelaide Cottage to a new residence at Fort Belvedere on Windsor's Home Park Estate. However, Hello's Royal editor, Emily Nash, remains rather doubtful about these claims, observing that she'd been informed "they've been very happy" at Adelaide Cottage. She mentioned they were: "Enjoying precious time together as a family of five, with no live-in staff and with easy access to Lambrook, the Berkshire school attended by Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis." However, she didn't dismiss the possibility of a future relocation, noting that William, with his substantial Duchy of Cornwall funds, could easily purchase a property. Indeed, Emily pointed out there's a "precedent" for such a move, citing examples like the late Queen gifting Gatcombe Park to Anne, Sunninghill Park to Andrew, and Bagshot Park to Edward.
