Overview

• Princess Charlotte co-signed official messages with her father on social media for the first time, using the signature “W & Charlotte” to congratulate the Lionesses on their Euro 2025 victory.
• The decision to feature Charlotte alongside Prince William reflects a broader effort by the monarchy to engage younger royals in public-facing digital communications.
• Charlotte’s attendance at the UEFA Women’s Euro final in Basel was omitted from the Court Circular because she holds no formal working royal duties.
• Prince George remains bound by an unwritten royal rule that bars heirs over 12 from traveling with their parents without sovereign approval.
• Prince William’s postmatch embrace of England’s players exemplifies the royal family’s willingness to relax traditional protocols in public settings.
