The Prince and Princess of Wales shared a sweet photo of their two youngest children, nine-year-old Princess Charlotte and six-year-old Prince Louis on Sunday as they enjoyed an evening at home watching the Euros final match between England and Spain.
But it was their living room setting at Adelaide Cottage that caught the attention of royal fans.

"@england, your teamwork, grit and determination were an inspiration to all of us, young and old. Congratulations to Spain. W & C," the post was captioned which saw the young royals in football shirts on a deep green sofa watching the game on a TV.
"Quite a small telly," wrote one royal fan on X. Another added: "They have a small tv?". Meanwhile, a third penned: "Love how this is a private moment from home! This is so relatable. Thank you Princess for sharing with us!".
