Prince William, Duchess Catherine, and their three children are currently on a summer holiday at the Queen's Scottish residence, Balmoral Castle. While the date of the family's return to Kensington Palace has yet to be confirmed, they typically like to spend a few weeks away from royal duties with their children in the summer. 

It is now thought that Prince William could be ending this summer retreat early and returning to London this weekend in order to watch England play in the Euros final. 

This is because Prince William paused his family holiday to send an important message of support to the Lionesses after they won the semi-final match against Sweden. Following this message, fans think that the Duke of Cambridge, who is the President of the Football Association, may travel back to London for the final at Wembley on Sunday, July 31, 2022. 

"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expected to show their support for the @Lionesses by attending the #WEURO2022 final at on Sunday, when England will play either Germany or France #Lionesses," said the Royal Editor of the Sunday Times on Twitter.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the England men's final for the Euros and even brought their son Prince George to the final match. Some fans are hopeful that the royal couple may bring their two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte. 

"Congratulations @Lionesses William, we would love to see you going to the final on Sunday! Please take George and Charlotte with you too!" said one fan on Twitter.

"I can't wait to see our Duke and Duchess there!! Hopefully, they will take Prince George and Princess Charlotte with them too," said another royal fan on social media.

Prince William has previously revealed that Princess Charlotte is a huge football fan and has even given her father messages to pass onto the Lionesses in the past. Princess Charlotte’s sporty skills revealed by Prince Wiliam while he chatted with the Lionesses ahead of the Euros. The Prince revealed, "Charlotte wanted me to tell you she's really good in goal." 

The Duke said, "She said, ‘Please can you tell them that,' and I said ‘OK I'll tell them’." He then added that the Princess was, “a budding star for the future!"

While it hasn't been confirmed which members of the Royal Family will be around for the final, fans are hopeful that the whole Cambridge brood will be in attendance for this incredible event.
