The Lionesses have roared to victory in a nailbiting penalty shootout that saw them triumph over Spain.
After a gruelling 120 minutes of play against the World Cup winners and holding their nerve through penalties, the team soared to victory for the second year in a row.
It was Chloe Kelly again who scored the decisive goal after coolly slotting the crucial penalty into the back of the net, following two huge saves from goalkeeper Hannah Hampton.
Ultimately England won 3-1 after an initial scare when Beth Mead slipped on the opening kick.
Supporters stood on tables, waved flags, threw drinks in the air and excitedly hugged each other as England claimed victory, while the Prince of Wales and Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer watched on from the stands in Basel, Switzerland.
Fans draped in England flags joined the Prince of Wales and his daughter Princess Charlotte in holding their heads in their hands as Mariona Caldentey put Spain 1-0 up at the end of the first half.
But thankfully Arsenal striker Alessia Russo managed to successfully divert Chloe Kelly‘s cross into the back of the net in the 57th minute – sending Lionesses supporters into raptures and equalising the score.
Speaking after the match Chloe Kelly gushed that she was ‘so proud of this team, so grateful to wear this badge’ and ‘so proud to be English’.
William was spotted in the stands applauding and celebrating with those around him – including his daughter Princess Charlotte.
As the presentation ceremony took place, the Prince of Wales was among those to congratulate star striker Michelle Agyemang on being named young player of the tournament.
William exchanged words with Agyemang, appearing to say ‘well played, fantastic, well done’.
Agyemang, 19, who had one England cap before the tournament, scored crucial equalisers in the Lionesses’ quarter-final and semi-final comebacks.
