England may have lost the 2024 UEFA EURO finals to Spain on July 14, but the match proved to be a sweet father-son bonding moment for Prince William and Prince George, 10.

The two were spotted excitedly embracing after England scored its only goal of the match. Looking dapper in nearly identical suits, they appear positively ecstatic to be rooting on their home team in Berlin, Germany.

It wasn't the first time the Prince of Wales showed his support for the team during the 2024 EURO tournament. On July 6, the future king and soccer enthusiast, 42, was spotted watching England as they faced off against Switzerland at the Düsseldorf Arena for the quarterfinal match, his wide range of reactions on full display.

The father-son outing is just the latest in a string of instances of royals enjoying sports. On the same day Prince William and Prince George shared a hug in Berlin, Princess Charlotte accompanied Princess Catherine to the final day of Wimbledon at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

The princess, no doubt taking after her dad, was laser-focused on the tennis match and showed a variety of emotions, from hope to worry to excitement. She even showed a concerned face-palm gesture—just like her dad previously did at the EURO quarterfinals.

Here's hoping we get more cute—and sporty!—family moments soon.
