Title collector Sofia
Royal support at the European Championship final in Berlin
The royals also did the honors at the European Championship final in Berlin between England and Spain on Sunday evening. In the end, however, only King Felipe VI and his daughter Sofia, for whom it was their second title, were able to celebrate.
Spain's King Felipe VI was seated in UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin's box, while England's Prince William sat right next to him. They both brought their children with them.

But only Spain's royals were in the middle of the trophy presentation. Felipe VI and daughter Sofía were even allowed to hold the trophy themselves for a moment. Incidentally, it was Sofía's second title party after Spain's women's World Cup triumph last summer - also against England.
Prince William, meanwhile, had to find words of comfort for his stars. The heir to the British throne was always a loyal companion to the "Three Lions" during the EURO. The eldest son of King Charles III - had already watched the preliminary round match between England and Denmark in Frankfurt. He also attended the quarter-final between England and Switzerland in Düsseldorf - and the President of the English Football Association (FA) has always brought his team luck - right up to the final.
Incidentally, he came to the final with son George, while wife Kate had already been at the Wimbledon final with daughter Charlotte that afternoon.
"Completely to despair"
King Charles III wrote after losing the final: "Everyone who has taken part in sporting activities at any level knows how utterly devastating a result like this can feel when the prize is so close. And everyone will join me in expressing heartfelt sympathy, even as we congratulate Spain."
