IN PICS: Spain’s Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofia meet UK’s Princess Charlotte as royal families collide at Euro 2025 final

In pictures: Spain’s Infanta Sofia and Princess Leonor meet UK’s Charlotte, as royal families clash at Euro 2025 final

This is the moment when two royal worlds met at the Women’s Euro 2025 Final in Switzerland. Princess Leonor, Infanta Sofia and Princess Charlotte.

The Spanish royals released images on Sunday showing Leonor and Sofia embracing Charlotte, ten years old.

William, Prince Wales, patron of the English Football Association, was photographed chatting with the Spanish sisters before the match.

Although the heir-apparent to the British crown is no stranger in Spanish lands, he was a frequent visitor to the Duke’s La Garganta hunt estate near Cordoba with his estranged half-brother Harry. It is likely that the conversation took place in English.

Leonor and Sofia have both graduated from the top UK board school.

In May, the King and Queen attended Infanta Sofia’s graduation at UCW Atlantic College. This prestigious international college in south Wales is renowned for its ability to educate foreign elites.

Two years earlier, Leonor, the Crown Princess of Spain, graduated from the so-called ‘Hogwarts for Hippies’ with an international baccalaureate.

The royals all gathered together in Basel, Switzerland to cheer on Spain as they faced off against England in the Euro 2025 final.

Charlotte and William were the ones who laughed the loudest after Chloe Kelly’s winning penalty ensured the Lionesses were victorious.

Charlotte, seated in a posh seat with the UK Prime Minister Sir Keir and his wife Victoria, was photographed cheering as England won the tournament in dramatic circumstances.

Some Spaniards have been accused of sour grapes in the aftermath of the clash, with one press outlet blasting heroine Kelly as ‘cocky’, while Ballon d’Or winner Aitana Bonmati claimed La Roja ‘played better’ than their English opponents.

There was no such resentment on the part of Princess Leonor or Infanta Sofia.

In a video, the two girls offer their sympathies to the Spanish team in the dressing room.
