As England’s Lionesses prepare to face their final opponent in the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025, all eyes are not only on the pitch—but also on the royal box. Speculation is swirling among royal watchers that Princess Charlotte, now 10 years old and known for her love of football, may accompany her father, Prince William, to the tournament final this Sunday in Basel, Switzerland.
A Royal Fan with a Passion for the Game
Charlotte has long been celebrated for her sporty spirit and enthusiastic support of England’s women’s team. Described as smart, confident, and full of personality, the young princess has become a fan favorite during public appearances, particularly those tied to sporting events. Her deep admiration for the Lionesses is no secret—and if she does attend the final, it’s sure to become one of the most heartwarming moments of the championship.
Following England’s thrilling extra-time victory over Italy earlier this week, anticipation has soared. Fans hope Charlotte will join Prince William—President of the Football Association—at St. Jakob-Park Stadium in Basel, the largest football venue in Switzerland, for what could be a historic night for English women’s football.
Royal Fans Rally Online
As news of Prince William’s confirmed attendance spread, social media lit up with hopes that his daughter would join him:
“It would be amazing to see Princess Charlotte in the stands cheering on the Lionesses!” one user posted.
“She’s such a passionate fan, and seeing her there would mean so much,” another wrote.
“Fingers crossed for a George and Charlotte appearance together!” a third added.
Though the palace has not confirmed Charlotte’s attendance, the online buzz reflects her growing role as a relatable young royal with a genuine passion for sports.
A History of Heartwarming Support
This wouldn’t be the first time Charlotte has stood beside her father in support of the Lionesses. In 2023, although Prince William faced criticism for not traveling to Australia for the Women’s World Cup final, he and Charlotte recorded a sweet video message for the team. Charlotte, beaming and holding a football, delivered a message that won over millions:
“Good luck, Lionesses! We’re so proud of you!”
That moment showcased the unique bond between father and daughter and captured the nation’s heart—especially among young families who saw themselves reflected in their shared love for the game.
England’s Lionesses: One Game from Glory
After a dramatic semi-final win over Italy, the Lionesses are on the brink of reclaiming the European title. Their path to the final has been anything but smooth, yet the team has shown resilience and unity every step of the way.
Captain Leah Williamson said after the match:
“The road to the final hasn’t been easy. A lot hasn’t gone to plan. But we’re ready. We’ll fight for ourselves—and for everyone who believes in us.”
Prince William, King Charles Show Their Support
Prince William took to X (formerly Twitter) shortly after the semi-final, writing:
“Brilliant performance @Lionesses! One game from glory! #WEURO2025”
King Charles III and Queen Camilla also issued a rare joint message, congratulating the team on their “outstanding and inspiring” performance.
A Moment Bigger Than Football
If Charlotte does appear alongside Prince William this weekend, it could mark a significant moment—not just in football history, but in her personal public journey. It would be her first time attending a major international sporting event abroad, and it could signal a growing role for her as a relatable, modern royal with a genuine connection to the public.
With her natural charisma, love of sports, and down-to-earth demeanor, Princess Charlotte represents a new generation of royalty—one that connects not through grand gestures, but through shared passions.
