Fans Go Wild Over Prince George’s SWEET GESTURE Towards Sister Spanish Princess At Recent Encounter
In an adorable moment that has captured the internet’s attention, Prince George’s recent interaction with the European princess has gone viral online. After meeting at a high-profile soccer match in Germany, Britain’s future king will celebrate his 11th birthday on July 22nd and was taken to watch the Euro 2024 final between the English and Spanish national teams in Berlin earlier this month by his father, Prince William. King Filipe VI of Spain was also present in the VIP box, accompanied by his younger daughter, the 17-year-old Princess Sophia of Spain.
The two young royals sat beside their fathers to watch the soccer match, which ended with Spain winning the title with a 2-1 score against the English team. The interaction that stole the show was captured on social media: the footage of George and Sophia greeting one another with a polite handshake has gone viral after being captured by stadium cameras covering the event. The brief but charming exchange between the youngsters added a touch of royal elegance to the sports event. The social media clip of the prince and princess’s brief meeting has received over 1.4 million views in 48 hours, gaining in excess of 150,000 likes and numerous comments, many of which have praised their mature interaction. Most comments are like, “Wow, they finally met! Infanta Sophia must be the only young European royal that’s met Prince George,” while another wrote, “I love that Sophia was the first to move toward George and greet him. She’s wonderful.”
The interaction between the young royals has a historical significance. For those not in the know, the Spanish royals are distantly related to their British counterparts through King Felipe’s great-grandmother, Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain. She was born in England as a granddaughter to Queen Victoria and was named in her honor.
Prince George has made several high-profile public appearances since the ascension of his grandfather, King Charles III, in 2022, including as a page of honor at the coronation in 2023. George is now second in line to inherit the throne. Though still only 10, he has not been photographed meeting large numbers of foreign dignitaries or royals. The prince has previously met King Felipe of Spain. The king attended the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in 2023 to watch his countryman Carlos Alcaraz win a victory against Serbia’s Novak Djokovic. Also in attendance were Prince William and Princess Catherine, together with their eldest children, George and Princess Charlotte.
The Prince and Princess of Wales don’t follow British royal family tradition when it comes to parenting. They’re raising George, Charlotte, and Louis in a decidedly more modern way by making the unusual, at least by royal standards, choice to be hands-on parents. They are hands-on parents in a way neither Charles or Diana nor the late Queen and Prince Philip ever were. From the start, they have cared for their children themselves as much as possible with minimal outside help. This is an unusual and enlightened decision by the couple. You can’t undo the destiny you were born into, but you can make life more of a family affair than an upbringing in palaces and castles would allow.
They have also taught the three young royals to be empathetic to others and have shown them and talked to them about people who are less privileged, encouraging them to learn how helping others makes them feel better too. They also have Carole and Michael Middleton, who keep the children grounded. Finally, there’s an element of privacy that allows George, Charlotte, and Louis to have as normal a childhood as possible. They have strictly controlled the children’s exposure to the pressures of public life, which has brought them a good measure of privacy. They run a fun household full of noise and bustle, music, and dancing, where it sounds as if the kids often rule the roost, as in most happy families.
Another part of the Wales’s modern parenting approach is that they didn’t hire a nanny when they first welcomed George. The late Queen found it fascinating that they never hired a nanny initially because the couple wanted to be hands-on parents, and they are hands-on parents.
