England faced Spain in a thrilling Euro 2024 final in Berlin, and both teams had royal supporters cheering them on. Prince William and his son, Prince George, were there to back the Three Lions. Meanwhile, King Felipe VI and his daughter, Infanta Sofia, were in the stands to support La Roja. Before kickoff, Prince William greeted King Felipe VI warmly. The two men, seated side by side, experienced the match’s highs and lows together. Despite Spain’s victory, Kate Middleton‘s husband remained gracious, comforting his team and applauding the winners.
Sofia of Spain Warmly Greets Prince George
While the royal families were engrossed in the intense match, one moment particularly stood out. Infanta Sofia warmly greeted Prince George, captivating many onlookers. The young girl, dressed in a white blouse and red pants, exchanged a friendly handshake with the British heir, who appeared a bit shy in his navy blue suit. This charming interaction instantly fueled speculation about a future royal couple.
Following this encounter, some quickly began to imagine a future royal union. “I’m sorry, George, but marriage to the Infanta is essential if we want to secure an alliance against France,” quipped cinematographer Benedict Spence, adding a humorous touch to the swirling rumors.
Distant Cousins and Royal Relations
While the idea of Prince George and Sofia of Spain becoming a couple is intriguing, journalist Richard Eden pointed out a notable detail: the age difference. Sofia is 17 years old, whereas Prince George is just getting ready to celebrate his 11th birthday. This seven-year gap might be significant for now, but it’s worth noting that historically, age differences in royal marriages have been quite common.
The connection between these royal families goes deeper than public appearances. Infanta Sofia is the granddaughter of Queen Sofia, who is a cousin of Prince Philip, George’s great-grandfather. Both children are also descended from Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom, making them distant cousins.
