A royal fan has said Princess Charlotte “has no poker face” after spotting her shocked reaction after a major moment during the Euros final between England and Spain.
The 10-year-old is attending the match in Basel, Switzerland, with her dad, Prince William. An image of the pair was posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales’s X account shortly before kick-off, with the caption: “Let’s go, Lionesses.”
Charlotte and William were among fans holding their heads in their hands when Mariona Caldentey put Spain 1-0 up in the 25th minute, as crowds in fanzones across England fell silent while watching the match. Royal fans took to X to comment on Charlotte’s tell-all reactions, with one writing: “I can say Charlotte and William have no poker faces.”

Another tweeted: “Charlotte facial expressions are everything!” The official BBC 5 Live Sport account also commented on the royals’ reactions, saying: “Prince William and Princess Charlotte have been going through all the emotions in that first-half!”
The Prince of Wales, who is patron of the Football Association (FA), applauded the national anthem as he stood next to Charlotte in the stadium. In a show of support ahead of the final, the Band of the Grenadier Guards performed Three Lions on the Buckingham Palace forecourt, while the Royal Family’s official X account posted: “Wishing the very best of luck to the @Lionesses in the Women’s Euro Final this evening.”
William posted a good luck message on Saturday which read: “Good luck to the Lionesses tomorrow. The nation is so proud you are through to the final, after some stunning comebacks! We are all cheering you on! W.”

After England beat Italy 2-1 in the semi-final in Geneva on Tuesday evening, the King and Queen wished the team their “warmest congratulations”. Charles said: “Knowing the Lionesses’ fighting spirit, I suspect we are in for another thrilling encounter on Sunday.
“Your achievements continue to inspire countless girls and women across the nation, proving once again that with dedication and teamwork, anything is possible. Good luck, England. May you roar to victory once more. Charles R.”
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said: “Into the final and inspiring the nation. Let’s bring it home.” He said the team had “changed the game – breaking barriers, making history and inspiring the next generation.” The PM said: “Tonight, the whole nation will be behind them. Come on England!”
Meanwhile, cricketer Joe Root wished the Lionesses the “very best of luck” in an online message, adding: “It’s been great to watch you play throughout the tournament.” Olympic 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson said the team has 2absolutely smashed it”, adding that “everybody is so proud of you”.
Meanwhile, BBC Sport and ITV have secured the broadcasting rights for the Women’s World Cup 2027, meaning the tournament will remain free-to-air for UK viewers. England’s path to the final has been marked by late drama. They sealed their spot with a last-gasp extra-time win over Italy, following a penalty shootout victory against Sweden in the quarter-finals after nearly crashing out in extra time.
The Lionesses will be looking for redemption against Spain, who edged them 1-0 in the 2023 Women’s World Cup final. England boss Sarina Wiegman said the team is “going to do everything we can to win it” and she would prefer to avoid a “nerve-wracking” match.
