Prince Louis receives gesture from Princess Kate after young royal missed Wimbledon final

Charlotte, 9, joined her mother and aunt, Pippa Matthews, at the tennis tournament and watched on as Carlos Alcaraz sealed back-to-back titles at the All England Club.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte accompanied their parents to Wimbledon last summer to watch the men's singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.

Prince Louis, 6, has never been to Wimbledon and his absence will continue for at least another year.

Last year, Kate admitted at the men's singles final that Louis was left "very upset" at missing the event.

However, Prince Louis was allowed to watch England clash with Spain in the Euro 2024 final alongside Princess Charlotte on Sunday evening in a gesture that will have cheered up the young prince.

The Princess of Wales shared a picture of her two youngest children sitting in front of a television and wearing England shirts with their names and ages on the back.

Princess Kate and Prince William shared the photo on their official social media account with the caption: "England, your teamwork, grit and determination were an inspiration to all of us, young and old. Congratulations to Spain. W & C".

The social media post was signed off with W & C to signal it was a personal message from William and Catherine.

Gareth Southgate's squad suffered an agonising 2-1 defeat at the hands of Spain as England's wait for a maiden European Championship continues.

Prince William and Prince George watched the Euro 2024 final in Germany.

William wrote: "This time it just wasn’t meant to be. We’re all still so proud of you. Onwards @England. W"
