Like Mother, Like Daughter: Princess Charlotte Channels Kate at the Euros

Princess Charlotte truly stepped into her royal duties on Sunday, joining her father, Prince William, to cheer on the Lionesses to victory in the Women’s Euro 2025 finals in Switzerland. The Princess of Wales brought along his only daughter for a joint outing to St. Jakob-Park, where the pair watched on (anxiously, for the majority of the match) as England beat Spain on penalties.

It was a milestone occasion for 10-year-old Princess Charlotte, not least because she met with some of her fellow young royals. Comiserating alongside La Roja was Princess Leonor, the 19-year-old heir to the Spanish throne, and her sister, Infanta Sofia. The two princesses made their own way to Basel, travelling without their parents, King Felipe and Queen Letizia. Charlotte looked right at home with her Spanish counterparts, as the trio enjoyed a warm conversation in the company of Prince William. The picture of grace and elegance, the Princess had many royal watchers comparing Charlotte to her mother, Catherine, the Princess of Wales – not least because her outfit looked straight out of the stylebook of a young Kate Middleton.

Dressed in a navy polka dot dress from Guess, Princess Charlotte revisited one of her most iconic royal looks. Eagle-eyed style swans will have noted that the young royal previously opted to wear the summery piece when she joined her mother at Wimbledon in 2024, walking into the royal box on Centre Court to the sound of rapturous applause. In the months since, polka dots have become something of a royal trend: Queen Camilla wore a navy and white number to the Alessandro Manzoni school during day three of her state visit to the Republic of Italy; Princess Eugenie embraced the pattern as she hosted a Buckingham Palace garden party in May; and even Queen Letizia of Spain joined in on the fun at her annual meeting with the Princess of Asturias Foundation
