It’s also been a big sporting month for Princess Charlotte, who was also seen attending the Wimbledon men’s final earlier in the month.
Royal Friends
Prince William and King Felipe of Spain are both descendants of Queen Victoria, meaning they’re distant cousins.
The two royals share not only a distant relative, but also a mutual love for sport, and they’ve developed a respected friendship over the years.
Alongside the men’s Euros finals in 2024, the two royals also appeared together alongside the Princess of Wales, Prince George and Prince Louis at the men’s Wimbledon final earlier this month.
