Prince George and his father, Prince William, shared a memorable bonding experience as they attended the UEFA European Championship finals on Sunday, July 14. The duo, donning matching sleek black suits, watched the highly anticipated soccer match between England and Spain in Berlin. It was a special outing for the Prince of Wales and his 10-year-old heir, who are both avid soccer enthusiasts.
While the father-son pair enjoyed the thrilling atmosphere of the soccer tournament, William’s wife, Kate Middleton, and their daughter, Princess Charlotte, spent quality time together at the Wimbledon tennis matches in London. The Princess of Wales, who has been undergoing preventive chemotherapy treatments for cancer, made a rare public appearance, joining her 9-year-old daughter and sister, Pippa, in the Royal Box at Centre Court to witness the men’s singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.
The royal family’s love for sports was further showcased in the days prior, as William attended the UEFA EURO 2024 Group Stage game between England and Denmark, and later, the quarterfinals between England and Switzerland, where he was captured in a viral moment, enthusiastically cheering from the stands.
The royal family’s recent outings at sporting events across Europe came just days after Kensington Palace announced that Kate would not be in attendance at the annual Charity Polo Cup, where William was set to play.
On July 12, William participated in the polo game in Windsor, an event organized to raise funds for various charities he supports. Kate, who has often joined her husband at equestrian events in the past, was notably absent as she continues her treatment for cancer. Her first public appearance since announcing her diagnosis was at the Trooping the Colour on June 15, where she stood alongside William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and their youngest son, Prince Louis, to celebrate King Charles’ official birthday parade.
