King Felipe of Spain and his daughter, Princess Sofia, radiated joy as they joined football players in celebrating Spain’s triumphant victory at the Euros final last night.
Amid cheers and celebrations, the monarch, aged 56, and his 17-year-old daughter leaped with excitement, holding the coveted trophy after Spain’s thrilling 2-1 win against England.
King Felipe, sporting a vibrant cherry-colored tie matching Spain’s national football colors, exuberantly congratulated each athlete, shaking their hands as they received their medals.
Dressed sharply in a navy blue suit and crisp white shirt, King Felipe looked every bit the distinguished royal as he and Sofia cheered from the stands.
Princess Sofia showcased her support for Spain in crimson-colored smart trousers paired with a simple yet elegant white blouse, echoing the national team’s colors.
The official Spanish Royal Family’s account tweeted jubilantly: “EUROPEAN CHAMPIONS!!! You have been the best team, you have made us enjoy every game and all of Spain is proud of you.”
Earlier in the evening, King Felipe and Sofia met with Prince William and Prince George at the stadium, exchanging pleasantries and discussing the unfolding match.
Prince William and Prince George, clad in matching striped ties mirroring England’s national kit colors, white and red, also attended the match to support England.
Despite England’s defeat, Prince William tweeted: “This time it just wasn’t meant to be.
We’re all still so proud of you. Onwards @England. W.”
The official Spanish Royal Family website captured a momentous snapshot of the royals alongside Aleksander Ceferin, UEFA’s president, emphasizing the camaraderie and sportsmanship of the evening.

King Charles of Wales and his wife, the Prince and Princess of Wales, also expressed their support for the English team through official statements and social media posts.
Queen Letizia did not accompany King Felipe to the event, sparking speculation about their relationship amidst recent rumors.
Speculations arose from claims made by Letizia’s former brother-in-law, Jaime Del Burgo, hinting at a past affair, although neither Letizia nor Felipe have publicly addressed these rumors.
Meanwhile, King Felipe’s eldest daughter and heir to the throne, Princess Leonor, embarked on her first official solo trip abroad to Portugal, focusing on environmental conservation—a testament to her burgeoning royal responsibilities.
During her visit, Princess Leonor was warmly received by the President of Portugal, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, underscoring the royal family’s commitment to international relations and environmental stewardship.
Conclusion
Amidst celebrations, international diplomacy, and familial developments, the Spanish royals continue to navigate their roles with grace, style, and a steadfast commitment to their nation and global partnerships.
