Princess Charlotte joins dad William in Basel to roar on Lionesses to victory at Euros final
England are set to go head-to-head against Spain in Basel, with football fan Charlotte joining her dad in the stands.
The pair were spotted in Switzerland this afternoon, where excited fans have been packing out fan zones all day.
The princess wore a polka-dot navy dress, while her dad opted for a dapper suit.
Ahead of the final, which kicks off at 5pm UK time, Prince William joined millions across in England in cheering the Lionesses on.
He said: 'Good luck to the Lionesses tomorrow.
"The nation is so proud you are through to the final, after some stunning comebacks!
"We are all cheering you on!'
His words of support have been echoed by the Band of the Grenadier Guards, who played footie anthem Three Lions in front of Buckingham Palace.
The Lionesses have had an incredible run up until now, beating Italy and Sweden to land a spot in the final.
Although the bookies have counted out the team several times so far, they've proven that they can beat the odds and win.
The Spanish team might be the bookies' favourite to win tonight, but England fans think the Lionesses can pull off another incredible victory.
England fans flock to Basel to roar on Lionesses in Euros final
The match tonight is expected to be especially tense, as the two teams have previously gone head-to-head in the World Cup final 2025.
Sadly, for the Lionesses, Spain won but the Euro final 2025 is a chance for them to get even.
The match is due to take place in Basel, Switzerland, at the massive St Jakob-Park stadium and an estimated 38,000 fans will be in attendance.
Meanwhile, an estimated 16 million Brits will be watching from home, when the game is broadcast on BBC and ITV.
A slew of celebrities have cheered the Lionesses on too, with Amanda Holden saying: 'You can do it girls!
"The whole country is behind you and we are so proud. Bring it home.'
Loose Women's Katie Piper added: 'Good luck Lionesses! You've already inspired so many with your passion, teamwork and fight.'
Ahead of the match, England Skipper Leah Williamson revealed that the team feels the support from the nation behind them.
She said: 'We're very connected to what it means to the nation because it means the same to us.
"The opportunity of tomorrow and what's on offer is the best thing in football — we have a chance to fight for the trophy.
'We recognise the opportunity and we'll do everything we can to take it.'
Fans have flooded the stadium already, bearing flags and even bringing cardboard cutouts of their favourite players.
At home, pub licenses have been extended to 1am so that Brits can cheer on their team together.

England bring it home England secured their Euro 2025 crown in a fashion in keeping with their performances throughout the entire tournament. After needing to recover from an opening loss to France just to make it out of the group stage, and then play 120 minutes against both Sweden and Italy to reach the final, England again came from behind on the night and went the distance as Alessia Russo cancelled out Mariona Caldentey's opener. After seeing goalkeeper Hannah Hampton make two key saves before Kelly's winning spot-kick, Wiegman called it 'the most chaotic and ridiculous tournament we have played' as the never-say-die attitude of her players again shone through. Captain Leah Williamson said: 'It's just total disbelief, but at the same time I knew it was going to happen. Playing for this England team is unbelievable.

The 33-year-old full-back had played every minute of Euro 2025 until she succumbed to a separate knee injury at half-time of extra time in Basel. 'I've actually played the whole tournament with a fractured tibia, but no one knew. And now I've hurt my knee on the other leg,' Bronze said on BBC Sport.
