The Royal Family have been criticised for “not letting” Prince George wear an England shirt at the Euros match yesterday.
Prince George and Prince William were left devastated as England suffered an agonising defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
The pair both dressed to the nines in matching suits as they watched the game from the royal box.
However, they have faced harsh criticism online and GB News host Bev Turner said that the young prince should be kitted out in an England shirt.
Speaking on Britain’s Newsroom Ben Leo said: “Didn’t George look good?” and Bev responded: “Did he?”
Ben said: “He has a little suit on, I said to my wife George, he’s a good-looking kid.”

Bev responded: “Oh, it’s a bit strange, though, isn’t it? Yeah. It is smart, but I don’t know how they get these children into these clothes.
“Some of the clothes that they wear, it’s just sort of grown up.”
Ben agreed: “That is what people were saying online last night, why can’t George just wear an England top?”
GB News royal correspondent Cameron Walker explained: “There’s been a lot of criticism actually that Prince George isn’t allowed to wear an England top.
“I mean, sometimes when he goes to Aston Villa with his father, which is obviously a team which Prince William supports, he does wear like an Aston Villa scarf, but he also tends to be wearing a suit as well.
“If you’re in the royal box, you’ve got to wear a suit and tie. That’s just kind of how it goes. He’s also a future king.
“The King of Spain was also clearly in the stadium yesterday, he probably left a lot happier than Prince William did, but he was also wearing a suit.
“So it’s just kind of by the by, I think when you royal like Prince William. Prince George is only ten, but he is the future king and he is in the royal box, so I’m sure he gets the football kit at some point.”
The father and son appeared to go through a range of emotions throughout the game and were visibly heartbroken following England’s tragic loss as they stared out at the pitch with their heads in their hands.
Posting from the official Kensington Palace account just seconds after the final whistle, he commiserated with the team after watching them closely miss out on victory.
William wrote: “This time it just wasn’t meant to be. We’re all still so proud of you. Onwards @England. W.”
