Prince George attended the Euro 2020 final last night and his reaction to England losing summed up how we all felt.

England lost against Italy during last night’s intense final after it went to a penalty shootout.

George, seven, was watching the game alongside his parents Prince William and Kate Middleton.

He looked absolutely gutted – just like the rest of us – as England lost out on the win.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also looked gutted, with Kate putting her arm around them both.

Following the defeat, William paid tribute to the England squad on Twitter.

What did William say?

The duke wrote: “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.”

A win for England would have been the men’s football team’s first big tournament victory since the 1966 World Cup.
