Prince George is perhaps every England football fan right now - from Sheer ecstasy of Luke Shaw goal to heart break of watching Rashford, Sancho and Saka miss Penalties!
Football will come home, not today but someday!
Congratulations Italy.#Euro2020Final pic.twitter.com/GrxpfzgIu5

At different points during the game, George, who attends Thomas's Battersea, a private school in south London, was seen hugging his mom and dad after good plays by England and watching nervously during the shootout.

\"Heartbreaking. Congratulations @Azzurri on a great victory,\" he wrote. \"@England, you’ve all come so far, but sadly this time it wasn’t our day. You can all hold your heads high, and be so proud of yourselves — I know there’s more to come.\"

Prince William, Kate and George also rooted on England in a game last month, watching as the team defeated Germany and advanced to the quarterfinals.
