Prince William’s plans for the upcoming weekend have been unveiled, and it seems he will have plenty to discuss with his daughter, Princess Charlotte. The Prince of Wales, aged 43, is confirmed to attend the final of the Women’s Euros on July 27 to support the Lionesses. The Lionesses, portraying the England women’s soccer team, will see the enthusiastic soccer fan, Prince William, in his capacity as the patron of the Football Association, the governing body of English soccer. The significant match is scheduled to take place at St. Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland, on Sunday after the Lionesses secured their spot by triumphing over Italy 2-1 in the semi-finals on July 22, with congratulations from both King Charles and Prince William’s offices shared on social media.
In a show of support, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s team shared on their Instagram Stories a photo of the squad celebrating their thrilling win with the caption, “Brilliant performance @lionesses! One game from glory! #WEURO2025.” This public backing is in line with Prince William’s earlier encounters with the Lionesses this season, including visiting the team at their training base stadium before the Euros tournament and attending their Euro match against the Netherlands on July 9 in Switzerland. The news of Prince William’s forthcoming display of support for the Lionesses is bound to win the approval of a young fan at home, his daughter Princess Charlotte.
While all of Prince William and Princess Kate’s children have inherited a love for soccer, Princess Charlotte, in particular, has exhibited a keen interest in the English women’s team, the Lionesses. In recorded messages ahead of both the 2022 Women’s World Cup and 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, the young princess joined her father in wishing the team best of luck. Prince William has previously hailed his daughter as a “budding star” in soccer, conveying a message on Charlotte’s behalf to the national team during his visit in 2022. The Royals are instilling an appreciation for sports in their children, evident in bringing George and Charlotte to the Wimbledon Championships men’s singles finals last week on July 13, where the young royals were vibrant fans alongside their parents, capturing a souvenir for Prince Louis, who, at 7, may have been deemed too young to attend.
