William's emotion alone

At the final of the Women's Euro Cup, Prince William was completely swept up in the emotion of the moment. Without Kate Middleton by his side, his energy was even more noticeable. From the stands, his face reflected every play, every goal opportunity, and he didn't hide his enthusiasm at the English team's victory.

He was an active, lively presence that didn't go unnoticed by the international press. In particular, French media highlighted his behavior during the trophy presentation. According to Point de Vue, the British heir "overflowed with joy during the awards ceremony."

This gesture, beyond protocol, was interpreted as a genuine show of national pride. His closeness to the players, his constant smile, and the way he celebrated revealed a natural and empathetic William. He fully enjoyed the moment without needing to have his wife by his side.

Meanwhile, international attention wasn't limited to the British heir. Princess Leonor and Infanta Sofía also made headlines. Traveling to Basel to support the women's national soccer team wasn't just a symbolic gesture, but an action full of institutional and emotional meaning.

For the French press, their appearance was more than just protocol. They highlighted that they attended "to support the Spanish players" and that they became protagonists. Without the monarch, they were the ones who represented the Royal House, showing commitment and maturity.
