Kate Middleton and Prince William posted a photo of their younger children watching the historic Euro 2024 championship match.
After England's soccer team faced a defeat by Spain in the European 2024 Championship on July 14, the royal family shared a heartfelt moment of support.
Kate Middleton and Prince William, parents to Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, posted a photo of their younger children engrossed in the historic match.
"@England, your teamwork, grit and determination is an inspiration for all of us, young and old," Kate and William wrote on their Instagram, sharing a photo of Charlotte and Louis in matching personalized England jerseys. "Congratulations to Spain. W & C."
The display of good sportsmanship follows Prince William and Prince George's father-son outing at the Euro Final match in Berlin, Germany, on Sunday, as Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte took in a match of their own -- tennis, that is -- at Wimbledon in London.
The father-son duo -- who have also attended the Emirates FA Cup and Taylor Swift's London Eras Tour concert together in recent weeks -- were spotted taking in the match between Spain and England. The 42-year-old Prince of Wales was seen chatting it up with his eldest son, as well as UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin and Felipe VI, King of Spain.
At one point, William was spotted bending down to George's level as they shared a moment and discussed the game, which ultimately went to Spain in a 2-1 upset.
Despite England's loss, the father-son duo kept it neutral and didn't put their disappointment on display as they graciously accepted the team's defeat.
Meanwhile, some 600 miles away in London, Charlotte and Kate attended Wimbledon together -- which marked the Princess of Wales' second public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March.
The 42-year-old Princess of Wales -- who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club -- attended the Wimbledon Men's Single Finals game and watched Carlos Alcaraz of Spain and Novak Djokovic of Serbia face off for the big prize. The mother and daughter were also joined by Middleton's sister, Pippa Middleton.
Kate took to social media account to celebrate her return. "Great to be back at @Wimbledon!," the post read alongside a photo of her waving from the stands. "There's nothing quite like The Championships 🎾."
Middleton's last appearance at Wimbledon came in 2023 when she attended with William and their two oldest children.
The outings come just weeks after William's father, King Charles III -- who also underwent treatments for cancer earlier this year -- hilariously referred to his grandkids in a speech with his son in attendance.
During a welcome dinner for Japanese Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, cameras caught William giving his father a smirk after he joked about his rambunctious crop of grandchildren while he recounted his experiences spending time with Naruhito in the past.
"I am only sorry to report that I haven't had any better luck with more recent attempts at fishing," Charles shared as he read from his prepared speech. "The Pokémon phrase 'gotta catch 'em all' may resonate with my grandchildren, but for me it is, perhaps, aspirational."
Charles is also grandfather to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's two children -- Archie, 5 and Lilibet, 3.
