Lionesses Beth Mead and Lucy Bronze have been given MBEs for services to football
The pair swapped their football kits for suits and high heels for the ceremony in Windsor.
Bronze said:"The first thing Prince William said was 'Oh, I'm not used to seeing you dress differently' because obviously he came to a lot of the things before the Euros and he has come to see us before in training. I made sure I did my hair for my nan."Mead said:"As an England squad we wanted to provide a legacy for young girls and boys to excel in football and make it such a big prospect.
The Arsenal footballer added:"We would love the full team to have got this but we're here and we're flying the flag for the England team and the women's game in general. "We want to support and do the best that we can to get to the next level and it's exciting seeing from when I started out at Arsenal six years ago to where the game is at now. We want the next generation to be even better than we are now."Luther Blissett after being made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire
The European champions were among 59 people receiving honours at Windsor Castle on Wednesday, including wildlife campaigner Dame Virginia McKenna and former Watford footballer Luther Blissett, who was one of the most prominent players in the 1970s and 1980s.
