Williamson was also thrilled to receive such a heartfelt message of congratulations from the Queen, adding: ‘I’m a big fan of the royal family so it means a lot.’
Williamson, who was only given the armband by manager Sarina Wiegman in April, could not hold back her emotion after the Lionesses’ extra-time victory over Germany.
‘I just can’t stop crying,’ she said on BBC One. ‘Something like this, we talk and we talk and we talk and we finally did it. It’s about doing it on the pitch and I’ll tell you what, the kids are alright.
‘It is the proudest moment of my life. I am taking everything in, every piece of advice I had was to take every single second in, so I can relive it for ever. I’ll be reliving that for a long time.

Prince William, a lifelong Aston Villa fan, has previously revealed that both Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, seven, are big football fans.
Just last month he met members of the England squad at their St George’s Park training ground in Burton-on-Trent, where he mentioned Charlotte was ‘really good in goal’.
The Queen led members of the Royal Family in paying tribute to England’s women’s team following their extraordinary performance in the tournament, writing: ‘You have all set an example that will be an inspiration for girls and women today, and for future generations.’
Prince William added in an Instagram post: ‘Sensational. An incredible win @lionesses and the whole nation couldn’t be prouder of you all. Wonderful to see history in the making tonight at Wembley, congratulations!’
