When Prince William traveled to Switzerland to support England’s soccer team, he brought along a very special guest: his daughter Princess Charlotte! The outing was a milestone moment for the 10-year-old, as this was her first overseas soccer game, per Harper’s Bazaar. She was all smiles cheering on her country to victory in the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 final between England and Spain.
Princess Charlotte looked beautiful in a blue-and-white polka dot dress — the same one she wore to Wimbledon 2024 with her mom Kate Middleton! Her long blonde hair was straight down around her shoulders as she hugged her dad for a snap posted to the Prince and Princess of Wales’ official Instagram account. “Let’s go, @lionesses! 🏴” it was captioned.

People praised the young royal in the comments, arguing over which parent she looked more like. “Charlotte takes after her dad so much!

“Gosh she’s gorgeous! I love seeing her turn into such a strong lady. You know her parents must be proud ✨” someone else commented.
Prince William also shared a video from the celebration, featuring Princess Charlotte standing by her dad’s side. “An incredible night for @lionesses and @england in Basel,” it was captioned. “Congratulations to Sarina, the team and all the support staff. Champions! 🏆”
“Charlotte looks in awe 🥹❤️,” someone noted. Another wrote, “Such a beautiful video! I’m very happy that Princess Charlotte was there to witness this historical moment for women’s football in England 😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️ congratulations again to the Lionesses 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”
She certainly does, both in these official posts and in other photos taken at the event as she smiles and chats with her dad during the game.
Princess Charlotte is very into sports, just like her mother and father. In a 2023 episode of The Good, The Bad, & The Rugby podcast, Princess Kate shared that Charlotte and her siblings Prince George, 12, and Prince Louis, 7, are all “growing and trying out different sports.”

Middleton also revealed that Charlotte plays rugby and football, which “weren’t school sports when I was growing up.” She added, “Charlotte’s playing both the sports now, and it’s really good to see youngsters, particularly girls, playing these types of sports now.”
Back in May, Prince William shared that Princess Charlotte ran track and field. Olympic middle-distance runner Keely Hodgkinson talked to Prince William after a visit to Windsor Castle. “The prince told me his daughter is doing the 400m at the minute and the hurdles and that she did watch me in Paris,” she told Hello!
We love that Princess Charlotte is a sporty princess, and that her parents fully support her interests!
