All of Princess Charlotte’s sweetest moments with dad Prince William as she cheers the Lionesses
She wore one of her mum’s trademark looks.
The final of the UEFA Women’s Euros 2025 was a tense watch for all of us up and down the country – and beyond – as we tuned in for the deciding match between England and Spain. As patron of the Football Association (and its former President), the Prince of Wales was in the crowds in Basel, Switzerland, to see the game in person on Sunday (27 July). For the special occasion, he brought Princess Charlotte along, who’s a big supporter of the Lionesses team.
It was a rollercoaster of a match, going into extra time before culminating in a nail-biting penalty shootout, which saw the Lionesses come out victorious as Chloe Kelly scored the winning goal. From the sidelines, Prince William and Princess Charlotte could be seen watching anxiously and cheering with the rest of the crowds. After the win, they shared a personal message of congratulations and support on social media, saying: ‘What a game! @lionesses, you are the champions of Europe and we couldn’t be prouder of the whole team.’
Here, we take a look at all the sweet, tense and exciting moments captured of the father-daughter duo as they enjoyed the historic match together…
High hopes
Prince William and Princess Charlotte took to Instagram ahead of the match to wish the team good luck, writing, ‘Let’s go, @lionesses! 🏴'. Princess Charlotte wore a navy polka dot dress – a pattern frequently worn by her mum, The Princess of Wales, which she also wore to Wimbledon.

Prince William and Princess Charlotte get ready to take their seats at the all-important match, sitting with other officials from the FA.
Comparing notes
The pair share a word together as the game begins – perhaps giving their predictions of the final score.
A tense game
It was a tense watch, and the duo looked enthralled as the Lionesses battled against Spain, which saw them concede a goal in the first half.
Royal rivals
Prince William and Charlotte weren’t the only royals at the match, with Spain’s Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía also watching to support the Spanish team. At half-time, Prince William shared a photo of them all together, writing, ‘Bring on the second half! May the best team win’.
Not amused
We can all relate to the royal duo here – looking less than impressed – as various moments of the match didn’t go in England’s favour. Whether it was yellow cards, Spain’s first goal or that disallowed first goal during the shootout.
Goal!
After being 1-0 down, the Lionesses turned things around with an equalising goal in the second half, leading them towards the penalties, which would ultimately seal their fate as victors.
A rollercoaster
After numerous close shaves and extra time left the teams at 1-1, it was down to penalties. Princess Charlotte could be seen covering her face during the action, while Prince William could hardly bring himself to watch.
The winners’ podium
After Prince William shook hands with all the players from both teams during the medal ceremony, it was time for the Lionesses to take to the podium and lift the trophy in victory. Prince William and Princess Charlotte were cosied up on the pitch to witness the special moment together.
The champions
After the match, Prince William shared a compilation video of the evening’s action and wrote a message to England’s victorious team. He described it as an ‘incredible night for the Lionesses’ and shouted out the team’s head coach and wider staff, saying, ‘Congratulations to Sarina, the team and all the support staff.’ He finished the post with one word: ‘Champions! 🏆’
