Prince George and Prince William put on a very lively show during the 2024 European Championship final between England and Spain.
The royal father and son will watch the Three Lions’ defeat against Spain tonight at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.
After Spain scored earlier in the match, Prince George looked visibly disappointed as he sat down next to his father.
But Cole Palmer’s glorious goal revived the Royals’ dream of winning the European Championship tonight.
The father and son clearly appeared tense, holding their heads in their hands as Cole approached the target.
The father and son jumped up from their seats and cheered along with Keir Starmer

The royal couple then jumped up from their seats and cheered along with Keir Starmer.
After the celebration, Prince William hugged Prince George, who appeared overwhelmed with joy.
Earlier in the match, royal fans raved about how George had become a ‘mini’ version of his father after Kensington Palace uploaded footage of father and son arriving.
On X someone wrote: ‘Prince George walks just like his dad. Prince William’s mini-me!’
Another added: ‘Cute. Prince George walks like his father.’
Just before the national anthem began, the royal father and son were also in the stands. Prince George straightened his tie, just before William did.
In addition, William and George posed for a photo with King Felipe and Princess Sofia, who were in Berlin to cheer on the Spanish team.
During the opening minutes the Prime Minister said Keir Starmer – who is an avid Arsenal fan – was photographed approaching the royal father and son for a chat.
Williams’ participation in the final at the Olympiastadion Berlin came just days after he sent a message of support to the Three Lions.

Yesterday, the royal wrote a personal message to X (formerly Twitter) saying he was ‘so proud’ of England ahead of the final. He signed the message ‘W’.
He publicly expressed his support for the team, saying: ‘We are so proud of you all England. One last push to get the job done!
‘Go out and show the world what you’re made of. We believe. W’
It is not the first time that the prince has attended the final today and has cheered on his team from the stands.
He showed his support throughout the tournament and attended several matches.
He was spotted cheering on the Lions during their win against Switzerland last week.
After the team triumphed and secured a place in the last two, Aston Villa fan William, who is also chairman of the FA, tweeted: ‘What a beauty, Ollie! Congratulations England! #EURO2024 Finalists. W.’
Prince William was seen during England’s group stage match against Denmark on June 20, which ended in a 1-1 draw thanks to an early goal from captain Harry Kane.
The prince was incredibly animated during last month’s European Championship match, even jumping out of his seat in the 18th minute after the opening goal and cheering.
But at the end of the match, William – like most of the country’s players – had his hands on his face after England were reduced to a 1-1 draw after a less than convincing performance thanks to a wonder goal from Danish midfielder Morten Hjulmand.
The royal has previously described England’s 2-1 extra-time win over Slovakia in the round of 16 as an “emotional rollercoaster”, but the Three Lions’ last two games have arguably been more thrilling, with a last-minute winner from Ollie Watkins sending Gareth Southgate’s men through to the final against the Netherlands.
And he is not the only Royal backing his team in the run-up to the final, where they hope to be crowned winners of Euro 2024.
King Charles and Queen Camilla congratulated the team on reaching the final with a heartfelt statement.
His Majesty said: ‘My wife and I, together with the rest of the family, would like to congratulate you on reaching the final of the UEFA European Championship and wish you all the best for Sunday’s match.
‘If I may encourage you to secure victory before any last-minute wonder goals or other penalty drama is needed, I am sure the pressure on the collective pulse and blood pressure of the nation would be greatly reduced! Good luck, England. Charles R.’
