The Lionesses’ homecoming victory parade drew royal fans. Princess Beatrice was spotted lining The Mall in London on Tuesday with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. The couple, who recently celebrated five years of marriage, brought their two daughters—Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi and Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi—and Edo’s son from a previous relationship, Christopher “Wolfie” Woolf, to the celebration.
Edo was in dad mode with his youngest child, Athena, who was born in January, strapped to his chest. Meanwhile, Wolfie and Sienna stood alongside the barricade. Beatrice was dressed down for the family outing, wearing a white sweater, floral skirt and her hair up in a bun.

The Princess’ cousin the Prince of Wales, who is patron of the Football Association, traveled to Switzerland with his 10-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte to watch England play in the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 final on Sunday, July 27.
Following the Lionesses’ victory, Prince William and Charlotte hit the field at St. Jakob-Park and also shared a message for the team on social media, which read: “What a game! @Lionesses, you are the champions of Europe and we couldn’t be prouder of the whole team. Enjoy this moment @England. W & Charlotte.”
King Charles also congratulated the Lionesses on their victory. “This brings you, your manager and all your support team my most heartfelt congratulations on winning the EUROS 2025. For more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant ‘football’s coming home’. As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true,” His Majesty said in his message.
“For this, you have my whole family’s warmest appreciation and admiration. More than that, though, you have shown through your example over past weeks that there are no setbacks so tough that defeat cannot be transformed into victory, even as the final whistle looms,” the King continued. “Well done, Lionesses. The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can!”
