Prince George is certainly taking after his father in many ways, and this was clear as he attended his first public soccer game on June 29, 2021, with his mom and dad. The young boy looked quite dapper as he donned a beautifully made suit that matched his father's, and was seen excitedly supporting England in their match against Germany during the Euro 2020 Championships. Kate and William treated George to an after-school surprise by bringing him along for the event according to Express UK. 

This event was also the first time that Kate joined William for an England game. All three members of the family were seen conversing with each other throughout the game, and their joy when England defeated Germany was shared by English fans across the world. William had returned from his Scotland trip earlier on the day, where he had joined Queen Elizabeth to meet the team building HMS Glasgow at a shipyard.

George will be celebrating his eighth birthday next month, but he certainly looks like a grown-up young man in the photographs from the event. The young prince stood between his parents as they joined the crowds in singing the national anthem before the kick-off for the game. According to Daily Mail, George is a big soccer fan and has been for a few years now. He reportedly played on a local team and even had soccer-themed birthday parties in the past. It must have been an exciting event indeed for him, especially seeing England win the quarter finals and making it onto the next round!  

While George joined his parents for the game, William and Kate opted to leave Princess Charlotte, six, and three-year-old Prince Louis at home for the night. At the beginning of the night George, who is an avid soccer enthusiast just like his father, amused fans when he shyly mumbled the words to the English anthem "God Save The Queen" which the whole stadium joined together with the player to sing. Daily Mail reported that some fans pointed out that George may have felt this way as the song was about his great-grandmother. 

It may have also been possible that George felt shy due to the heavy attention that the family was subjected to during the match. George is certainly no stranger to being in the spotlight but this was a whole new experience for the young prince. Royal fans were ecstatic to see the family at the event and were all praises for William and Kate for being such involved parents while also doing their royal duty seamlessly. 

It seems like sports are certainly important for the family, and both Kate and William have imbibed a love for sports in their children. Most recently, the day before William's 39th birthday was Father's Day in the U.K., and William spent the day with his two eldest kids as they all kicked off a half marathon event that took place on the queen's Sandringham Estate in Sandringham, Norfolk. Addressing runners before the half marathon took place, William even got George and Princess Charlotte involved when he held the microphone down to them as they counted down the start of the race altogether.

July 1 will mark what would have been Princess Diana's 60th birthday, and William and his brother Prine Harry are set to unveil a statue of the late princess to mark the occasion. William and Harry have worked hard to preserve their mother's legacy both symbolically but also throughout their own charity work as parts of the royal family. Both brothers have taken carried on Princess Diana's legacy in terms of being outspoken about mental health.

However, both brothers have taken drastically different paths in their life; while William has stuck to his duty, Harry took the unconventional path and left behind his role as a senior royal, opting instead for a life in the United States with his wife Meghan Markle. His controversial decision, however, has led to a major rift in the family, which has been covered thoroughly in the media. 

With the unveiling date coming up tomorrow, royal fans are wondering how Harry's meeting with his family will go after the bombshell interviews he has given over the last few months.

There have currently been tensions between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the royal family due to their bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview, followed by their role in the Apple+ Docuseries "The Me You Can't See." Despite the Sussexes' estrangement with the rest of the royal family, when it comes to newborn members of the monarchy, it seems there is no animosity. While appearing with Jill Biden at an engagement at the G-7 Summit in Cornwall, England, Kate Middleton was asked about her new niece. According to Harper's Bazaar, the duchess of Cambridge responded:

"I can't wait to meet her. We haven't met her yet. I hope that will be soon."
