August 2024 · 4 minute read

The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a delightful image of Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis taken as the young royals cheered on England in the Euro 2024 final from home. 

In the candid shot taken from behind, Charlotte, nine, and Louis, six, both sported personalised England kits as they watched the match from home in Windsor, while Prince William and Prince George cheered on the Three Lions in Berlin. 

William and Kate's personal message read: "@england, your teamwork, grit and determination were an inspiration to all of us, young and old. Congratulations to Spain. W & C." 

Sadly it wasn't to be for Gareth Southgate's squad as Spain secured a last-minute goal to secure a win and take home the trophy.

There was almost an equaliser from England, with cameras capturing William and George's reactions at their missed chances. Watch below...

The Princess, who is patron of the AELTC, did not attend the women’s singles final on Saturday, and Wimbledon chairwoman Debbie Jevans presented the trophy to Barbora Krejcikova on her behalf. 

So proud of you

While William and George may have looked heartbroken after England's loss, the Prince sent a rousing message of support to the squad, saying after the match: "This time it just wasn’t meant to be. We're all still so proud of you ."

The two heirs were seated alongside King Felipe of Spain and his youngest daughter, Infanta Sofia, 17, with the four royals posing for a snap together ahead of the match.

It wasn't the first time that George has cheered England on at a Euros final, as he could be seen ecstatically celebrating the Three Lions' early goal in the Euro 2020 final alongside William and Kate. 

William is president of the Football Association and a passionate Aston Villa fan, and has taken George to the club's matches on multiple occasions this year, with the young Prince often sporting the team's scarf.  

 In April, they watched Aston Villa's match against Lille in the Europa Conference League quarter-finals – their first public outing since Kate's cancer diagnosis announcement. 

And in May, George, who is second in line to the throne, accompanied his father to the FA Cup Final between Manchester United and Manchester City at Wembley.
