Spain’s Women’s National Football Team announced on the news on X: “H.R.H. the Princess of Asturias and the Infanta Doña Sofía will accompany the @sefutbolfem in the final of the #WEURO2025.”
They added: “Representing the @CasaReal, they will attend the St. Jakob-Park in Basel to experience the match between England and Spain. #PlayFightAndWin.”
This marks a special royal reunion in Switzerland, with William and Charlotte also enjoying some quality father-daughter time together – echoing their much-loved video message from the Lionesses’ last major final in 2022.
The news comes after the Prince wished the 23-player squad good luck ahead of the match.
Taking to Instagram, Prince William said: “Good luck to the Lionesses tomorrow. The nation is so proud of you are through to the final after some stunning comebacks! We are all cheering you on!”
William, who is the President of The FA and an avid Aston Villa supporter, travelled to Germany for the men’s Euro 2024 final with Prince George last year. The royal father and son were seated in the same box as King Felipe of Spain and Infanta Sofia.

It’s also been a big sporting month for Princess Charlotte, who was also seen attending the Wimbledon men’s final earlier in the month.
Royal friends
Prince William and King Felipe of Spain are both descendants of Queen Victoria, meaning they’re distant cousins.
The two royals share not only a distant relative, but also a mutual love for sport, and they’ve developed a respected friendship over the years.
