More people than ever are turning up for the 2025 Women’s Euros in Switzerland this month, which is already breaking attendance records left and right. The fervor for the European championships was palpable in London in 2022 as well. Prince William, president of the Football Association at the time, presented the trophy to the English women’s national team when they won at home in 2022.

Here, see photos of the royals who have turned up in Switzerland for the 2025 Women’s Euros so far—and be sure to check back, as we’ll be updating this story throughout the tournament.
