Sarina Wiegman has received her honorary damehood from Prince William at Windsor Castle, more than ten months after the honour was announced. The England women’s manager was recognised for her contribution to British football, including leading the Lionesses to back-to-back European Championship titles in 2022 and 2025 and the 2023 World Cup final.
Wiegman, who is Dutch, was named an Honorary Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in the New Year Honours List. Because she is not a British citizen, she may not use the title Dame.
The palace shared a photograph of William and Wiegman, with a message thanking her for her contribution to women’s football and the two successive European titles.
