In a rousing battle cry, Charles said: "Good luck today Lionesses, and may you roar to victory!" The message to Sarina Wiegman's team was posted on Royal social media channels last night and timed to coincide with the break of dawn in Australia.
Royal advisers said both the King and Queen Camilla will be following today's clash with Spain at Sydney's Stadium Australia with "the greatest interest".
Princess Charlotte joined her dad the Prince of Wales, who is President of the Football Association, in sending a good luck message to England.
In a video message posted on social media, William apologised for not being in Australia to watch them in person, which has caused a backlash at home.
Sitting next to Charlotte, the prince said: "Lionesses, I just want to send you a huge 'good luck'.
"We are sorry we can't be there but we are so proud of all you have achieved and the millions you have inspired here and around the world.
So go out there and enjoy yourself." A smiling Charlotte, who was clutching a football, added: "Good luck Lionesses!"
Meanwhile, thousands of England supporters have flown into Sydney since last Wednesday's semi-final in the hope of seeing the nation's biggest sporting triumph since Sir Alf Ramsey's men beat West Germany 4-2 at Wembley in 1966.
The fans, many sporting red and white face paint and waving the St George's flag despite the Lionesses playing in their away blue kit today, said they were excited and nervous as England looked to follow up last year's glorious Euros triumph.
