Royal fans were thrilled as Princess Charlotte and Spain’s Princess Leonor made a joint appearance at the women’s Euro final.

On Sunday (July 27), the England women’s team secured the 2025 Euros title in a dramatic penalty shootout against Spain, with player Chloe Kelly delivering the winning goal and goalkeeper Hannah Hampton pulling off two stunning saves.
While royal fans expressed delight to see Princess Charlotte‘s enthusiastic support for the Lionesses, they became even more excited when new images surfaced of her meeting Princess Leonor, 19, and Infanta Sofia of Spain, 18.
The Spanish royals also travelled to Switzerland to support their national team and were spotted in the stands near Prince William and Charlotte.
Photos of the royals mingling behind the scenes began circulating online.
In one snap, Charlotte and William stand beaming alongside Leonor, the future Queen of Spain, and Sofia. Another showed Princess Charlotte and Princess Leonor shaking hands as William proudly watched on.
The official Prince and Princess of Wales X account posted a group photo of the royals at halftime with the caption: “Bring on the second half! May the best team win.”
Meanwhile, the Spanish royal household shared their own photos from inside St. Jakob-Park, where the young royals were seen chatting warmly.
Royal watchers online were quick to gush over the moment.
“A rivalry, but always a respected rivalry in soccer. So cool to see the royals hanging out,” one fan commented.
“Lovely photo,” said another, followed by heart emojis.
“All my favourite princesses!” another wrote.
“So wonderful that sports bring huge public figures across nations together,” one fan mused.
“We love to see the royal family with their royal cousins,” a fifth gushed.
Someone else said: “Today’s photo is historic. How lovely to see these young princesses together.”
King Felipe VI of Spain is a descendant of Queen Victoria, making Leonor and Sofia distant cousins to William and Charlotte.
