William is patron of the Football Association, English soccer's governing body, and has a long history of supporting both the England men's and women's teams.
However, he usually takes Prince George rather than Charlotte, who is a regular at the Wimbledon tennis championship.
This appears to be the first time William has taken Charlotte and not George to a soccer match, marking a milestone in their relationship.
What to Know
The TikTok video was posted with the message: "Princess Charlotte cheering on the lionesses tonight for the euro women's finalll 🥺🫶🏻."
The clip began by showing some of Charlotte's messages of support in past finals, including in a black-and-white polka dot dress for the 2022 final of the Euro, which England won against Germany.
The second clip, in a white stripy t-shirt, is from her message of support ahead of the 2023 Women's World Cup Final, which England lost to Spain.
The edit then showed a series of photos from the Euro final on Sunday, which showed Charlotte put her head in her hands during a tense moment as well as some bonding moments with William.
There are also pictures in the video of Charlotte meeting Princess Leonor, 19, and Infanta Sofia, 18, both of Spain.
Elsewhere, Prince William posted a video that also showed him standing with his arm around Charlotte's shoulders as they watched the England team celebrating their win.
This was the first time Charlotte traveled overseas to watch soccer and only her second live game, after she previously watched Aston Villa, William's favorite team, play Norwich in 2019.
What People Are Saying
William and Charlotte posted a joint message on X congratulating the England team: "What a game! @Lionesses, you are the champions of Europe and we couldn't be prouder of the whole team. Enjoy this moment @England. W & Charlotte."
King Charles III posted a message of congratulations on X: "For more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant 'football's coming home.'
"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.
Congratulations to our valiant @Lionesses! 🦁🦁🦁

🚨 UEFA fines Athletic over crowd trouble against Manchester United
The Athletic Club finds itself at the center of controversy after announcing that the UEFA Control, Ethics, and Disciplinary Committee has proposed a fine of 50,000 euros for incidents that occurred during the home and away matches of the Europa League semifinals against Manchester United. The issue arises following the matches played this season, where behaviors such as throwing objects, inappropriate chants, or the use of flares were reportedly recorded, according to UEFA regulations. The proposed fine, which includes 30,000 euros for the home leg and 20,000 euros for the away leg, reflects UEFA's increasingly strict stance against such incidents. The lions, who have always stood out for their identity and massive support, now await the final decision, which could come in the next few days.

Parents' 'Dramatic' Home Solution for Giving Daughter Space Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Working from home can sometimes come with challenges. If it's not Wi-Fi issues, it may be a lack of space for a household of remote workers. One parent's solution to this problem has gone viral on TikTok, earning almost 1 million views. The hilarious clip, shared by daughter @miz_fey, shows her parents taking her request to be alone during a virtual meeting to a whole new level. They can be seen using their laptop and phones in the bathroom. Her dad has pulled a chair up to his makeshift desk, which is the sink, and her mom is sat on the toilet with her laptop on the toilet tank. The text layered over the clip reads: "I work from home and had a meeting so my parents decided to give me privacy. So dramatic." Two screenshots from the viral video showing the parents working in the bathroom. Two screenshots from the viral video showing the parents working in the bathroom. TikTok/@miz_fey Statista found that, by 2019, remote work was widely reported to enhance well-being—73 percent of remote workers cited improved personal wellness and better work-life balance. So much so, many would accept a pay cut to work remotely more frequently. During the clip, the daughter can be heard encouraging her parents to leave the restroom, but they are determined to honor her request. With her dad saying, "you said we must not talk," and playfully adding, "we must not breathe," the video has racked up over 130,000 likes. Newsweek is waiting for @miz_fey to provide a comment. The hashtags say that the parents are Nigerian, which explains a lot, according to the comments. One comment with over 26,000 likes read: "When it comes to career, Nigerian parents don't play." "Immigrant parents want the kids to succeed at all costs—I love them," added another. This statement has been backed by research. A review by the Nigerian Association of Social Psychologists highlights that African immigrant parents in North America shape their parenting goals based on cultural values, immigration experiences and adaptation to the host country. Specifically, skilled Nigerian professionals aim for their children to attain competitive education and successful careers in the U.S. In 2023, Pew Research Center also revealed Asian parents (70 percent) are the most likely to consider their children's college graduation extremely or very important. This is followed by Hispanic (57 percent), Black (51 percent) and white parents (29percent), highlighting sharp racial and ethnic differences in educational priorities. Some users have commented to share their own working-from-home experiences. "This is so sweet. My own was the opposite lol [laugh out loud] … I had to sit in the bathroom for my meetings while my parents were in the living room blasting music," posted one. "My mom said she doesn't like to visit because when we work she must act like she can't speak and she didn't come in this world for that," commented another.

CHICAGO, IL - JUNE 23: Former Chicago Cubs player and Hall of Famer Ryne Sandberg waves to the crowd before throwing the first pitch before a game between the Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets at Wrigley Field on June 23, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois. More Jamie Sabau/ Getty Images Sandberg was elected to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in 2005. He played 16 seasons, 15 with the Cubs and one with the Philadelphia Phillies. He was a National League MVP, 10-time All-Star, nine-time Gold Glover and seven-time Silver Slugger. His seven Silver Sluggers are the most by a second baseman ever, and he held the record for home runs by a second baseman when he retired in 1997. He was drafted by the Phillies and made his debut in 1981. He was traded to the Cubs after that season. In 1983, he became a full-time second baseman and changed the position in terms of power. From 1984 to 1993, he was an All-Star every season and hit 225 home runs. He finished his career with 282 home runs, 1,061 RBIs, 344 stolen bases and a .795 OPS. The Cubs have had plenty of legendary players wear their uniform. Sandberg will be remembered for bringing unprecedented power to the second base position and paving the way for power hitters at the position after him.
