Girl who broke royal protocol with Prince William after Euro final identified
The identity of the youngster who won over countless hearts after inadvertently breaching Royal protocol during the Lionesses trophy ceremony has now been disclosed. The girl positioned herself beside Prince William as the England squad received their medals following their penalty shootout victory over Spain in the Euro 2025 final. She was clearly elated as she welcomed the team on their journey to the podium to claim the trophy. In her excitement, the girl seemed to unintentionally breach Royal etiquette by greeting the players with handshakes before William, who was positioned in front of her. She has subsequently received praise across social media platforms, with numerous viewers moved by her delighted responses. It has now emerged that the girl was present at the final as UEFA's special invitee. She has been named as Greta, a 12 year old from Switzerland. She lives with a genetic variant of epilepsy, receiving her diagnosis as an infant, reports the Express. Greta participated in the trophy ceremony as an invitee of the UEFA Foundation For Children, an organisation that routinely welcomes young individuals with disabilities or additional needs to participate in formal proceedings. A statement from the governing body declared: "Greta is a cheerful, open-minded, and determined young girl with a great passion for sport. "Her enthusiasm, perseverance, and love of sport made her a fitting and inspiring choice to participate in the medal ceremony alongside UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin." Greta was seen having a conversation with William throughout the ceremony, with the future monarch placing his hand on her shoulder whilst they beamed and spoke together. The young girl stole the show with her enthusiastic approach to greeting the players (Image: GETTY) Viewers tuning into the trophy presentation were thrilled by Greta's excitement, with @thereusableuser posting on X (formerly Twitter): "Sorry but this girl pulling everyone's hand out of William's is killing me." @caitsrightboot commented: "She was obviously very happy and excited. Who wouldn't be excited to shake hands with the whole Spain and England team?". @AHowroyd remarked: "She looked so so happy to be there, it was brilliant to see her grabbing their hands," whilst @MelDorado9 posted: "She was the real royalty. Was super cute the big hug she got from Chloe Kelly." Prince William was also accompanied by his daughter, Princess Charlotte, to witness England claim the Euros for the second consecutive time. Following the trophy ceremony, she received a winner's medal to take home and was photographed gripping it with tremendous excitement. Charlotte subsequently penned her inaugural official statement on the Kensington Royal account, praising the Lionesses on their landmark triumph. The statement declared: "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."

Lionesses' Beatlemania-like homecoming shows women footballers are FINALLY getting the honour and respect they deserve
WITH Chloe Kelly inevitably at the front of the bus, the Royal Marines band struck up Sweet Caroline and the parade was off. Inching down the Mall — British royalty's ceremonial thoroughfare — the Lionesses were accorded all the trappings of a state occasion. 11 Beaming families made up much of the crowd at the Lionesses' victory parade in London Credit: Getty 11 The champions return, with an open-top bus parade towards Buckingham Palace Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 11 Spectators show their love for the team as they wait for the bus to pass Credit: Getty Banned by the FA for half a century, ridiculed and written off by others, women footballers were now receiving the honour and respect they have long been due. And much of the admiration was coming from mums, who had brought their daughters along to soak in the inspirational Lioness magic. Among them was Kerry Randall, from Gloucester, who made a last-minute decision to bring her brood — Kaydee, six, Hadley, seven, Lennox, ten, Macey, 12 and Cole, 14. The 37-year-old early-years educator told me: 'It's nice for the girls to see we're equal to the men — if not better sometimes.' READ MORE ON THE LIONESSES Daughter Macey added: 'It shows that women can succeed in life.' Holding a giant poster of London , said: 'The win meant everything to me. It's a giant step forward for women's football and for women in general.' Proper recognition for the Lionesses' achievements has taken a long time — but now it's unmistakably here. Standing ten deep around me as the bus passed, the Beatlemania-like roar from tens of thousands of female voices was deafening. Most read in Football There were plenty of blokes in attendance, but with so many women cramming along the railings lining St James's Park, the testosterone was drowned out. Michelle Agyemang, the tournament's 19-year-old breakout star, seemed a little overawed by the ecstatic scenes that were unfurling as the bus passed a sea of phones. There were plenty of blokes in attendance, but with so many women cramming along the railings lining St James's Park, the testosterone was drowned out. Inside Lionesses' boozy Euro 2025 celebrations as stars party with pizzas, beers and loved ones after win over Spain No one was swilling tinnies, let alone chopping out lines of coke in the Portaloos. And nobody felt the need to shove a Wembley . Passing alternate Union flags and St George Crosses on the Mall, the procession soon reached Buckingham Palace. I'd half expected the wrought iron gates to swing open and a flunky to beckon inspirational coach It's no more than the likeable 55-year-old Dutch former PE teacher deserves. 11 This young fan's face paint conveys the crowd's love for the Lionesses Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 11 A young girl gets a better view as crowds cheer on the returning champs Credit: Getty 11 A young fan signals her appreciation as the Lionesses make their way down the Mall towards Buckingham Palace Credit: Shutterstock Editorial Her squad shuffled on to a makeshift stage in front of the Victoria Memorial. Beneath the gilded monument to one English Queen, there now gathered more than two dozen others. Seated on a throne above the Lionesses was the marble figure of 'They didn't want us on their pitches' When the King's great, great, great grandmother died in 1901 women didn't even have the vote. It took another 27 years before all women over 21 were finally enfranchised, giving them the same voting rights as men. Women's football had a similar struggle to win acceptance in a male-dominated world. Amid the scenes of hysteria, I thought back to the day in 2010 when I met Edna Broughton, then 80, who was the Edna, who sadly didn't live to see the Lionesses' two Euro triumphs, was star striker for the world-famous Dick, Kerr Ladies football team, which was founded in 1917. In its heyday they played in front of 53,000 fans at Everton's Goodison Park, and beat a French side in the first ever women's international. The team were treated like superstars — but in the stuffy Football Association corridors of power , it caused deep consternation. Minutes from a 1921 meeting read: 'Complaints have been made as to football being played by women and the Council feel impelled to express their strong opinion that the game is quite unsuitable for females and ought not to be encouraged.' So I love the fact that they're so proud to be English and that it doesn't matter what colour or race you are. That brings people together. Pat MacFarlane, 64, fan at the parade Edna, who played for Dick Kerr from 1945 until 1959, told me: 'They were chauvinists — they didn't want us on their pitches. 'I think the men were worried because we were becoming as popular as they were.' So yesterday's celebrations were also for those who came before the Lionesses, and for the young girls who will follow after — not just as footballers, but as leaders in industry and politics who will have fed off the Lionesses' guts, drive and will to succeed. As student Katie Baird, 18, from Guildford, Surrey , put it: 'The women's teams had massive crowds before they were banned — but now we're back.' Her friend Lauren Mutch, 19, added: 'The Lionesses' victory was nothing short of inspirational. They showed the men how it's done.' In their St George plastic bowler hats, Joyce Allison, 79, Elizabeth Elrick, 73, and Pat MacFarlane, 64, had travelled from London's East End to witness the joyous scenes on the Mall. Teacher Pat told me: 'When I was a kid, only boys were allowed to play football. We were told you weren't allowed to play.' Of the Lionesses, she said: 'I love the fact that they're so proud to be English and that it doesn't matter what colour or race you are. That brings people together.' 11 A fan shows her support with three crosses of St George Credit: Alamy 11 Fans Lauren, Katie and Lillianne wave the flag for the Lionesses Credit: Paul Edwards 11 Mum Kerry Randall, from Gloucester, made a last-minute decision to bring her brood — Kaydee, six, Hadley, seven, Lennox, ten, Macey, 12 and Cole, 14, to the parade Credit: Paul Edwards 11 Joyce Allison, 79, Elizabeth Elrick, 73, and Pat MacFarlane, 64, show their support Credit: Paul Edwards 11 Sun man Oliver Harvey cheers on the champs Credit: Paul Edwards

Man City sign Burnley goalkeeper in €31 million deal
ENGLAND U21S goalkeeper James Trafford's return to Manchester City fulfils a dream he had of going back to his former club. Trafford has signed a five-year contract with the side he left for Burnley in 2023 after City activated a £27 million (€31 million) buy-back clause. 'Rejoining City is such a special and proud moment both for me and my family. I always dreamed that one day I would be able to come back to Manchester City,' said the 22-year-old. 'This is the place I call home – it's a truly special football club with fantastic people who make it such a unique place to work and play. Advertisement 'I am also very excited and honoured to have been given the opportunity to work under Pep and with such a world-class group of players. 'I am still very young and hungry to keep learning and improving — and I know there is no better environment than Manchester City to help make me become the best goalkeeper I can be. 'I will do everything I can to help this great club look to achieve even more success.' Trafford, who will wear the number one shirt, becomes the club's sixth signing of the summer after Rayan Ait-Nouri, Tijjani Reijnders, Marcus Bettinelli, Rayan Cherki and Sverre Nypan. He joined City's academy in 2015, but after loans at Accrington and Bolton, the need for regular first-team football, with Ederson still the man to displace at the Etihad Stadium, took him to Turf Moor. 'When I had the opportunity to go to Burnley, I thought it was the right step for me in that moment and in the long term, it was to achieve [my goal of coming] back here. I'm happy that I've achieved it,' he added. City intend to retain the 31-year-old Ederson, so Trafford will still have to get past an established number one. City's sporting director Hugo Viana said: 'James is already one of the most accomplished young goalkeepers in the English game, and we are delighted to welcome him back to Manchester City. 'We feel he is an ideal fit for this squad and will bring great quality to the goalkeeping department. 'We fully believe he will be really successful and a top goalkeeper for Manchester City and the national team. 'I also have no doubt that working with Pep and the technical staff here at City will only see James further develop his abilities.'
