Prince William and Kate Middleton looked just like any other family as they ushered son Prince George out of Wembley Stadium in footage captured by an England fan and shared on social media.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, both 39, attended the final of the European Championships, which was won by Italy on penalties, with their eldest son on Sunday night.
In the short clip, seven-year-old George is seen with his hands aloft as he watched the disappointed England players on the pitch before being approached by mum Kate.
The Duchess then took her son's right hand in both of hers before clasping his head and pulling him into her in a warm, comforting gesture.

Kate then leaned over George to speak to her husband, who placed an affectionate hand on her back before bending down to speak to their little boy - who looked just as disappointed as the rest of the nation with the result.
The Duchess then turned around to pick up her patriotic red handbag while William placed both hands on his son's shoulders and guided him out of the stands.
The clip was shared to Instagram by Daniel Ingram, who admitted he was 'so fortunate' to be there for the match.
He captioned the video: 'One of the best days you will ever have watching your team go toe to toe in a major final. Gutted to not get to see them win the shoot out but proud of them none the less.
'Also got amazing seats behind the royal box and got to see the future Kings, Boris, Beckham, Figo, Kate Moss and many others.'

Following the game, William shared a heartfelt message to the players on Instagram, writing: 'Heartbreaking. Congratulations @Azzurri on a great victory. @England, you’ve all come so far, but sadly this time it wasn’t our day. You can all hold your heads high, and be so proud of yourselves — I know there’s more to come. W.'
Dressed in a suit for the occasion, young Prince George is always on his best behaviour during his occasional public appearances, which inevitably have an air of formality about them.
Candid photos of the Cambridges embracing the emotional rollercoaster of the match on Sunday offered an intriguing glimpse of their warm family dynamic and tactile parenting style.
Georgina Durrant, author of 100 Ways Your Child Can Learn Through Play, told FEMAIL that the Cambridges came across as a family whose life is 'full of love and affection'.
'In my opinion, it's clear that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are loving, caring parents whose children are at the very centre of their lives,' she said.
