Prince William might just be the lucky charm for the Lionesses, with the team scoring an incredible 4-0 victory over the Netherlands following a disappointing 2-1 defeat to France earlier in the week.

While the heir to the throne has been known to get incredibly excited when watching football, he managed to keep his cool on Wednesday despite the impressive score. William was seen cheering and clapping the team on, as well as chatting to fellow spectators around him.

Ahead of the tournament, he had shared a message with the squad, saying: "I just want to say the best of luck to all of you. I have seen a few of you and said that to your faces. I know there is a good mixture of those who have been and done a few tournaments before and those whose first tournament it is."
