Kensington Palace Wows Royal Fans with Photo of Prince William and Princess Charlotte from Surprise Appearance

Even royals love a good weekend soccer match

If you’ve been wondering what royals do with their weekend days, you’re in luck. Kensington Palace just shared a photo of Prince William and Prince Charlotte after they made a surprise appearance to support the Lionesses (England’s women’s soccer team) in their match against Spain for the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 Final this Sunday, July 27. So it looks like even princes and princesses enjoy catching a good game every now and again.

The photo, which was shared on Instagram via the official account, @princeandprincessofwales, was accompanied by a simple caption: “Let’s go, @lionesses! ,” emphasizing the Prince and Princess’s enthusiasm in cheering on their country’s team. They’re no strangers to the sport, as Prince William is known to be a patron of The Football Association, so it’s no surprise he and Princess Charlotte made the trip out to Basel, Switzerland to catch this important match in-person.

In the photo above, though, the two are seen at their seats looking disappointed as Spain took on a 1-0 lead. If you want to keep up with the score yourself, there are plenty of updates to be found (even as I write this England managed to tie the game!), but I have a feeling that, whatever way it turns out, Prince William and Princess Charlotte will be celebrating the Lionesses making it into this championship match (and we might even catch a few more photos when the game wraps).
