England players gatecrash coach's conference after Euros win, watch video

England coach Sarina Wiegman's news conference after their Women's European Championship win on Sunday was interrupted by her celebrating players, who danced into the room belting out a rendition of the "Three Lionesses" anthem.


Wiegman had just finished answering a question about tactics and where the game was won and lost when the players made their surprise entrance, with goalkeeper Mary Earps leaping onto the table and being joined by defender Lucy Bronze.

"We haven't sung this at all, this is something from English culture," Dutchwoman Wiegman told reporters after the interruption.

"I think we won the Cup. I don't think this is the home of the Cup, that's in Switzerland somewhere with UEFA but we won it and we're really happy."

The "Three Lions" song by comedians David Baddiel and Frank Skinner and band The Lightning Seeds was originally written for the men's Euro '96 tournament which England hosted, and has since been rewritten for the women's team.

Baddiel retweeted a clip of the England players' celebrations, writing: "This makes me very proud. Thanks again Lionesses."

King Charles breaks royal tradition by revealing his tax bill

  • King Charles will become the first reigning British monarch to publicly disclose his tax payments.
  • The figures will cover income from the Duchy of Lancaster, private estates and investments.
  • The move comes amid growing calls for greater transparency around royal finances.

King Charles is set to make history by becoming the first reigning British monarch to publicly disclose his personal tax payments, marking a significant shift in how the Royal Family presents its finances to the public.

The King's tax bill for the 2024-25 financial year will be published on June 25 as part of the annual royal financial accounts, placing royal finances and Buckingham Palace transparency firmly in the spotlight. Buckingham Palace said the disclosure was a personal decision by the King and forms part of a wider effort to modernise how information about the monarchy's finances is shared.
