Princess Charlotte has shown just how much the Lionesses’ victory means as she was seen going through all the emotions during the dramatic Euros final.
The team roared to a 3-1 victory in a nail-biting penalty shootout that saw them triumph over Spain.
After a gruelling 120 minutes of play against the World Cup winners and holding their nerve through penalties, the team soared to victory for the second European tournament in a row.
The Prince of Wales was joined by his ten-year-old daughter in the stands in Basel, Switzerland, to watch all the action.
The pair applauded and celebrated with each other and those around them, including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, when the big win finally came.
Sweet images of the young princess with her father show them doing almost exactly identical expressions of shock as the tense match unfolded.
Charlotte looks to be on the edge of her seat at the gameplay, at one point whispering a spot of her own analysis to her smiling father.
It came after an image of the pair was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales’s X account shortly before kick-off, with the caption: ‘Let’s go, Lionesses.’
It was Chloe Kelly again who scored the decisive goal after coolly slotting the crucial penalty into the back of the net, following two huge saves from goalkeeper Hannah Hampton.
The win came after an initial scare when Beth Mead slipped on the opening kick.
The atmosphere in William and Charlotte’s spot in the stands was electric upon the final blow of the whistle.
In one picture, William and FA chair Debbie Hewitt do a double high-five over Charlotte standing between them, who looks on smiling at the joyful moment.
The princess even had her mouth open in shock at one point in the game, astonished by the exciting events on the pitch.
