The Lionesses beat Germany on Sunday thanks to goals from substitutes Ella Toone and Chloe Kelly - achieving the nation's first major senior tournament success since the 1966 men's World Cup.
After the match, a statement from the British monarch was released, which read: "My warmest congratulations, and those of my family, go to you all on winning the European Women's Football Championships.
It added: "It is a significant achievement for the entire team, including your support staff.

"It is my hope that you will be as proud of the impact you have had on your sport as you are of the result today."
