Your support makes all the difference.Prince George joined his father, the Prince of Wales, to support England in their Euro 2024 final against Spain on Sunday evening, his latest outing in a spree of recent public appearances.
George joined William at the Olympiastadion in Berlin, Germany, as Gareth Southgate’s side looked to end a 58-year wait for a major men’s trophy.
It is not the first time the 10-year-old prince has cheered England on at a Euros final, as he could be seen ecstatically celebrating the Three Lions’ early goal in the Euro 2020 final alongside William and his mother, the Princess of Wales.
George, the eldest of the couple’s three children and second in line to the throne, has been making more outings in recent months.
At the end of June, George met Taylor Swift at her concert at Wembley Stadium.
The prince and his sister, Princess Charlotte, nine, joined William in smiling for a backstage selfie with the US singer to celebrate their father’s 42nd birthday.
Swift’s boyfriend, American footballer Travis Kelce, said the royal children were “an absolute delight”.
Only a week earlier, the young prince joined other members of the royal family on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to celebrate the King’s official birthday.
George smiled and waved to thousands of well-wishers as Kate made her first public appearance since announcing her cancer diagnosis earlier this year.
The prince had earlier joined his mother, sister and six-year-old brother Prince Louis in a carriage as they travelled down The Mall for the traditional Trooping the Colour ceremony.
In May, George and his father presented the FA cup to winners Manchester United at Wembley.
Both royals shook hands with both teams as they collected their runners-up and winners’ medals respectively.
George could be seen exchanging a few words with Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola as the latter walked past.
He also spoke briefly with former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson following the full-time whistle.
William is president of the Football Association and a passionate Aston Villa fan, and has taken George to the club’s matches on multiple occasions this year, with the young prince often sporting the team’s scarf.
In April, they watched Aston Villa’s match against Lille in the Europa Conference League quarter-finals – their first public outing since Kate’s cancer diagnosis announcement.
