Prince William will break away from summer holiday in hope of becoming lucky charm again for Lionesses in Euros final

Wills, 43, who is patron of the FA, will attend Sunday's game as Sarina Wiegman's side aim to retain their title.

But he watched on as the men's side lost the last two European Championship finals. And he was in the crowd when his side Aston Villa were hammered 4-0 by Arsenal in the 2015 FA Cup final. To date, the Lionesses' Wembley win is the only final William has seen in which the side he was backing has won — making him their lucky charm. The prince, who is currently on holiday, will jet to Basel, Switzerland, for Sunday's clash, the palace announced yesterday. It comes after the Lionesses won in extra-time against Italy on Tuesday, thanks to striker Chloe Kelly's penalty winner. The team looked to be heading out of the tournament as they trailed 0-1, before 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang's goal in the 96th minute. The game attracted 10.2million viewers — making it the most-watched TV show of 2025 so far. William and Kate posted online: 'Brilliant performance @Lionesses! One game from glory!' Minutes after the win, the King shared a victory message.

'Good luck, England. 'May you roar to victory once more. Charles R.' There is no confirmation if Wills will be joined by Kate or any of their three children. Princes George and Louis are both big football fans, but William recently confessed Charlotte is 'getting there'. FA patron Wills cheered on Lioness Beth Mead, when she was awarded the golden boot and player of the tournament at Euro 2022. But although he watched their last tournament success, he missed their World Cup defeat to Spain two years ago.
