PRINCE William is aiming to fly to Switzerland next month to cheer on the Lionesses as they defend their Euros crown.

Wills will attend at least one group game to watch Sarina Wiegman's side, maybe more depending on his royal commitments.
Their first Group D game is against France in Zurich on July 5.
They then play the Netherlands in the same city on July 9 and Wales in St Gallen on July 13.
A spokesman for William said: 'He is looking forward to supporting the team and wishing them good luck.'
The Prince of Wales — who is patron of the FA — is also set to meet the squad in person to give them his best wishes before they depart for the tournament.
Wills is often seen supporting the men's and women's national sides, and his beloved Aston Villa.
He was pictured experiencing the highs and lows of the England men's Euros final loss last year.
And speaking to the women's squad last year, he revealed of daughter Charlotte: 'She wants me to tell you she's really good in goal . . . a budding star.'
England are reigning Euro champions but endured an unsettling few weeks with the retirement of stars Mary Earps and Fran Kirby.
While 88-cap defender Millie Bright pulled out on the eve of the squad announcement.

The Blues boss cut short his final training session ahead of their decisive Group D game with ES Tunis as temperatures neared 40C. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Chelsea have drafted in massive fans to cool players down in training Credit: Getty 3 Temperatures soared to nearly 40C Credit: Getty 3 Chelsea face ES Tunis in their last group game Credit: Getty And with Philadelphia under a 'Code Red' severe weather alert, it is still likely to be well over 30C when they play in the early hours of Wednesday morning — at 9pm local time. Chelsea used giant fans to spray cold water over sweltering players during a brief tactical session. Maresca said: 'It is almost impossible to train because of the weather. 'We are just trying to save energy for the game. 'This morning's session has been very, very short. 'It's been just about tomorrow's game, planning for tomorrow and that's it. 'It's not easy in these conditions with these temperatures. We are going to try to do our best.' A draw would take the Blues through to the knockout stages with a likely date against Harry Kane's Bayern Munich on Saturday.

Maresca said: 'It's difficult to work in these temperatures but we are trying our best and will try to win tomorrow. 'It's impossible to do a normal session, otherwise you don't save energy for the game. So the session this morning was quite short. 'We are not training, almost. We are just doing very, very, very short sessions. 'We try just to be clinical and do the right things that we need for game preparation. We have the cooling break during the game which helps a little.' Nicolas Jackson did not join training as he is banned after his red card in the 3-1 defeat to Flamengo.
