Princess Charlotte has roared her support for the England Lionesses alongside her dad Prince William ahead of Sunday night’s Euro final.

The royal, aged seven, beamed for an Instagram reel as she wished the team good luck as they prepared to take on Germany at Wembley Stadium at 5pm local time.

Wearing a short-sleeved polka dot top, Charlotte said: “Good luck, I hope you win. Bye”.

Her dad William – the Football Assocation President – added: “We both want to wish the Lionesses the best of luck for tonight.

“You’ve done amazingly well in the competition and we’re rooting for you all the way.”

The England Lionesses have inspired a generation of girls with their incredible campaign to the Euro 2022 final.

According to The Sun, backheeling heroine Alessia Russo and teammates, Leah Williamson, Beth Mead and Millie Bright have become household names thanks to their brilliant tournament.

The FA expects 120,000 more girls to be playing the sport by 2024 due to England’s success.

The team will take on Germany tonight in front of a historic crowd at Wembley as the team hope to secure their first major trophy.

Around 90,000 fans are expected to pile in to watch the action under the stadium’s famous arch.

Pubs will be packed out across the country as fans dare to dream the women can finally bring it home.

An all-women RAF crew will perform a fly-past above Wembley at 4.57pm, immediately after the national anthems are played.

The final is expected to be the most-watched telly event of the year with a record-breaking 19.5 million viewers.

David Beckham was among England stars past and present wishing the women luck today.

He shared a photo of daughter Harper smashing a ball into the back of the net as he wished the women luck.

The youngster says: “Let’s go girls and bring that cup home.”

Beckham added: “Thank you for inspiring my daughter and thank you for inspiring the whole country.”

Boris Johnson also threw his weight behind the team as he praised them for inspiring a nation of young girls.

He said: “Your passion for the game, your tenacity in tricky spots, and above all your astounding talent on the pitch have already created a summer of fantastic memories for millions of us.”
