Princess Charlotte made a surprise appearance as she and dad Prince William had some soccer Sunday fun!
On Sunday, July 27, the Prince of Wales, 43, and Princess Charlotte, 10, stepped out in Switzerland to attend the final of the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025, which England’s national team is competing in. The outing marked Charlotte’s first overseas soccer game.
Prince William appeared in his role as patron of the Football Association, English soccer’s governing body. He traveled to the high-stakes match at St. Jakob-Park in Basel in a show of support for England’s women’s soccer squad, which is nicknamed the Lionesses.
It was confirmed on July 23 that Prince William would attend the final, in which England will go for the trophy at the tournament that the team last won in 2022.
William is a passionate soccer fan and has cheered for the Lionesses’ journey at the Euros this year, visiting the squad at St. George’s Park before they departed and traveling to Switzerland for their match against the Netherlands on July 9.

Prince William and Kate Middleton scale back their schedules when their children are out of school in order to spend extra time together as a family, and even King Charles traditionally scales back his schedule between late July and August to relax and recharge before the fall.
