Prince William and Princess Charlotte pose for cute photo at Euro 2025 final
The Prince of Wales, 43, and his 10-year-old daughter Princess Charlotte stepped out on Sunday, July 27, in Switzerland to attend the UEFA Women's Euro 2025 final between England and Spain.
Charlotte, who wore a blue dress with white polka dots for the occasion, posed for photos with her dad at the event, as seen in a picture shared on the official Prince and Princess of Wales Instagram account.
Ahead of the match, William wished the England women's national soccer team good luck in an Instagram story. "The nation is so proud you are through to the final after some stunning comebacks!" he wrote. "We are all cheering you on!"
William checked in with another message halfway through the match, writing, "May the best team win."

The public outing comes after William, Charlotte, Princess Kate and Prince George all stepped out on July 13 to attend the Wimbledon Championships' singles final between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Charlotte was wearing a ruffled white dress for that game.
The royal family recently celebrated Prince George's 12th birthday on Tuesday, July 22. In a photo shared on Instagram, George was seen wearing a blue and white button-down shirt and zip-up vest, and a video showed him posing for pictures with his siblings Charlotte and Prince Louis, 7.

Princess Kate is continuing to recover from a battle with cancer. Though she announced in January that her cancer is in remission, she was unexpectedly absent from a scheduled public appearance at Royal Ascot in June. Earlier this month, while visiting Colchester Hospital in Essex, Kate discussed how the next phase of recovery after treatment can be challenging.
"You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment," she said. "Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually the phase afterwards is really, really difficult."

I've seen her name and photo - but we can't talk before the date. Will it work out?
I'm sitting - trying to look composed - in a London bar. Cocktail ordered, there's a rollercoaster knot of anticipation building in my stomach - I'm waiting for a date. Except this isn't exactly your typical dating rendezvous - because while my date and I met online, as so many people do nowadays, we matched on an app that doesn't allow users to exchange messages until a few hours before the meetup. I know my date's name and I've seen her photo, but there's been none of the usual small talk messaging - just a few words to confirm I'm looking forward to meeting, and that's it. I first started using dating apps during the Covid lockdowns - Hinge mainly, but I've also tried Tinder and Bumble. They introduced me to a vibrant mix of people - some became short-term flings, others full-blown relationships, and then there were the other indefinable in-betweens. But after a mutual new year break-up (with an ex I'd met on Hinge), I returned to the dating app scene as a 30-something tired of the cookie-cutter profiles and weird monoculture. Everyone seems to be looking for someone who "doesn't take themselves too seriously", is itching to make travel and running a personality trait, or is desperate to go hiking. As a wheelchair user, I definitely won't be doing the last two - no matter how much physio I do. I wanted something different. I was after a pasta admirer, like me So, when a friend told me about an app which cuts out pre-date chat and gets straight to the date, I was intrigued. No awkward talking stage, no wondering if you've asked someone out too early - or left it too late. Research suggests an overwhelming number of daters have online burnout - so it's no wonder dating apps are trying to reignite the spark. There's Feeld, an app for the sexually curious; Fourplay, which teams single friends together with other pairs for group dates; and Lex, an LGBTQ+ message board app, while Raya is invite-only for celeb matches. According to Ofcom, singletons aged under 25 are dating online more than any other age group – so the big dating apps are also adding functionality to try to keep them interested. In June, Tinder introduced its double date feature. Akin to the Fourplay app, it lets users create a joint profile with a friend. Tinder's umbrella company, Match Group, said it needed to keep up with what Gen Z wanted and "build lower-pressure" ways for them to meet. Hinge has basically been charging more for a premium match-making service. Hinge X, the most expensive tier, charges £24.99 per week for "enhanced access to your type", the ability to "skip the line" and "like priority". The obvious question, of course, is how that works if multiple users are signed up - they can't all be the priority. These apps preach a tailored focus, but together respond to the same underlying sense of dating fatigue I have been feeling too. I'd been sending messages into the ether without any guarantee the algorithm would actually get them to the potential future love of my life - increasingly it felt a waste of time. And as someone who's been on the end of multiple failed talking stages in the past few months - cutting straight to the date felt a novel thing to try. Because, why not? Does online dating work? Once mocked, online dating is now a global love affair worth billions, and love at first swipe has become the generational norm. Almost 10% of Brits told a recent YouGov poll they met their partner on an app too, so that probably tells us something. But studies show cross-gender dissatisfaction, with women overwhelmed by matches, while men generally struggle and are more likely to turn to paid features to boost their chances. Add the normalisation of unhealthy dating behaviours like ghosting - suddenly cutting contact without explanation - and some drained daters are deciding: "it's not me, it's you". Last year, a class action lawsuit accused Match Group, owners of mainstream apps like Tinder and Hinge, of using addictive game-like features to encourage compulsive use. The case has since been sent to arbitration. Match Group rejected the claims calling the lawsuit "ridiculous", reports Reuters news agency. In Depth: Why dating apps could be in trouble Is speed dating the answer for Gen Zs looking for love? Tinder's height filter divides daters Yet, despite trying to keep us hooked, Ofcom data shows the UK's most popular dating apps saw usage fall by 16% in 2024. Tinder lost 594,000 users, Hinge dropped by 131,000, Bumble by 368,000 and Grindr by 11,000. In June, Bumble laid off 30% of its global staff. On Breeze, the new app I was trying, once you match a date is booked at a "partner venue" - this is partly how the app makes its money. Users pay upfront for a drink which acts as a soft deterrent to prevent no-shows – but bail repeatedly and your account will be temporarily frozen. Creating my profile, I wrote that I hoped to meet someone self-assured - able to laugh at life and themselves, while also embracing a dance floor with enthusiasm. Bonus points for cat people and pasta-admirers. My date, Rozena (not her real name), had amazing eyes - deep blue, with a purple tinge. She said she was looking for a long-term relationship, listed culture and theatre among her interests, and described the "worst idea she ever had" as the time she tried a particular dance move in heels, and ended up in an ambulance. This felt like exactly the kind of calamity I could get on board with. And that's how I found myself heading to this date. I'd flagged to Breeze that I'm a wheelchair user to make sure the venue was accessible before the booking was confirmed. The app's support team was responsive and the bar certainly seemed fine on paper. But while I could technically get in, all the indoor tables were up a few steps I couldn't navigate, meaning we would have to sit outside. The app later apologised for this and said it would work on how it audits places for accessibility in the future. Less pre-chat made us more present I messaged Rozena through the app - in the short pre-date window that opens just before that first meeting. She was understanding and said she'd brought a raincoat. Luckily, the rain held off. Less fortunately, the table leg made it difficult for me to wheel my chair under it, meaning I had to do a Tom Daley-style swan dive every time I reached for my drink. At least I didn't knock it over. Our date was fun - but there was no romantic spark. Rozena admitted her interest in music didn't extend beyond musicals. And while she claimed to be joking, I suspect her disappointment that I wasn't as aligned with her passion for theatre may have been genuine. Would we have discovered there was no chemistry had we met on an app with a pre-date chat function? It's impossible to say. But the limited pre-meet communication window seemed to make us both more engaged when we met in person. When I told Rozena I was thinking of writing an article about the app, she told me she'd been on a few dates through it. One drawback she'd discovered was that her matches weren't always close by – she'd had dates travel from hours away to meet up. Perhaps this is due to a growing user base. After finishing our drinks and saying goodbye, the app's chat window stayed open for a few hours, meaning we could check each other had reached home safely. There was an opportunity to exchange numbers via the app if both parties wished to. I received a message saying Rozena had declined, but she left a note saying she had had a lovely time. I am unable to contact her again, but it gave closure. No ghosting. Reflecting on this new approach to online dating, I wonder if we are going full circle, pining for the traditional dating culture of the pre-internet age? Sure, it didn't work out this time for me and my date, but it felt much more human, less AI. Breeze isn't unique in trying to do something different to help daters find love, but my experience on it made me realise that chatting beforehand can actually really help to build rapport ahead of a date (even if I do sometimes accidentally send essays). Even so, I'll probably continue to use Breeze, as it feels quite low effort. But my Hinge dating profile is still running and I'm chatting to four people there - who knows how many might lead to a date? Or perhaps I'll bump into the love of my life the old fashioned way - no phone, no algorithm. Imagine that.

Striker looking to put injury-hit first months in the past after solid pre-season
TOM Bradshaw is looking to put an injury-hit first few months at Oxford United behind him and build on the goalscoring rhythm he has enjoyed in pre-season. The 33-year-old striker joined the U's from Millwall for an undisclosed fee midway through the January transfer window, but fitness and injury concerns limited him to just 11 Sky Bet Championship appearances, with only four of those starts. Bradshaw didn't manage to find the net for United in the previous campaign, but has grabbed three goals in pre-season, including against CD Leganes on Tuesday night. READ ALSO: Summer signings impress, wingers catch eye & injuries testing depth The striker said: 'For me, it was about staying fit throughout pre-season and getting my body in the best condition possible to start the season. 'Scoring three goals is always good for confidence as a striker because it's all about getting into rhythms and getting into good habits. 'It's funny what putting the ball in the back of the net for a striker does to you. They're good habits to take into the season and hopefully I can carry it on. 'I feel really good. It's been a good solid pre-season. I haven't had any sort of setbacks and physically I feel really good. I feel confident. 'As a team, the numbers that we're putting up are higher than some of our games last year. 'I think that's a really positive sign and it shows we've put a real emphasis on fitness and drive this pre-season, and I think it's starting to show. 'At this point in pre-season, it's about fine-tuning how we are as a team on the ball and off the ball, and getting those details right so by the time Portsmouth comes, we should be all ready and hopefully we can pick up a win.' CLICK HERE TO SUBSCRIBE TO THE OXFORD MAIL ONLINE (Image: Newsquest) The U's drew 1-1 with Leganes, who were relegated from La Liga after finishing 18th last season, on Tuesday night and complete their pre-season schedule with a home clash against Malaga this afternoon. Reflecting on the game against Leganes, Bradshaw said: 'It was a good test for us. Notoriously, Spanish teams like to pass the ball, and I think it tested us off the ball and it also gave us some transitions as well. 'I think we probably could've scored more on the day, but I think our performance in general was a positive and it's something we can take into the game on Saturday, and try and refine all the points that we want to make right for the start of the season.'

United striker enjoying connection forming with winger
TOM Bradshaw is enjoying the on-pitch connection he is forming with Siriki Dembele. The Oxford United duo linked up neatly to open the scoring in Tuesday night's pre-season draw at home against CD Leganes. Dembele won back possession down the left-hand side and then threaded a pass into the channel of the penalty area, allowing Bradshaw to run onto it and finish inside the near post. READ ALSO: Summer signings impress, wingers catch eye & injuries testing depth Bradshaw said: 'I think our strengths complement each other. The way Dems likes to get into pockets and really try and commit defences, and run at them, and that's perfect for me because I love playing off shoulders. 'I think Dems is very good at committing defenders and doing little sliding balls. I spoke about it to him all week. 'As soon as I drop my shoulder, he can slide me in, and it makes it really hard for the defence to either cut it out or tackle me, or he can cut inside and get a shot off. 'I think it's starting to build those bonds that I didn't necessarily get last season through injuries and stuff like that. It's been a real positive pre-season for me and hopefully I can keep going.' Dembele on the left-hand side was a threat for United against Los Pepineros, while Stan Mills was a willing crosser from the right wing. Bradshaw said: 'Teams need balance. Stan's strengths are final balls, hugging the touchline, stretching the defence, and Dems likes to cut inside. You need that balance in a team and I think they both did really well.'
