Prince William and Princess Charlotte travelled to Basel, Switzerland, on Sunday to support the Lionesses against Spain.
The Prince of Wales, who is Patron of the Football Association, presented medals to both the English and Spanish players following the conclusion of the tournament’s final.

The Prince of Wales appeared to have a spare medal left over after the presentation, which he gave to his daughter.
Moments before handing the medal to Princess Charlotte, the Prince of Wales was pictured smiling as the young royal reached for a medal.
Following the match, Princess Charlotte and Prince William issued a rare joint statement congratulating the Lionesses.

“As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true.”
