Buckingham Palace eye view of the Lionesses as football comes home (again)

Thousands gathered to see the Lionesses on their victory parade down the Mall in London following their win in the 2025 Euros but for those who couldn’t be there, the roayals shared the best view of all.

The parade, as see through the windows of Buckingham Palace, made its way on to the social media channels of the Royal Family.

Buckingham Palace at the heart of celebrations for the Lionesses

The main stand for the champions was right by the Victoria Memorial at the Palace and the stunning sight of the team bus making its way through the crowds from inside the most famous royal home in the world was posted on X and Instagram in a special video celebrating England’s women.

The fireworks were so spectacular that the Palace view was partially obscured by red smoke at one point.

There was also a royal representative on the ground.

Princess Beatrice brought her young family along to enjoy this special moment.

Beatrice, who celebrates her birthday next week, joined in the celebrations with her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and their children.

Edoardo was carrying their youngest, baby Athena, in a papoose while Beatrice kept a firm grip on her older daughter, Sienna, and her stepson, Woflie, who seemed particularly happy to be at the celebration.

Wolfie, who was christened Christopher, gets on well with Beatrice’s cousin, Princess Charlotte, and they will no doubt be keen to share their thoughts on the win for the Lionesses which saw them become the first England team to win back to back international championships and the first to win a major trophy outside of the UK.

Princess Charlotte had been at the final in Basel with her dad, Prince William, and had watched a tense match which saw England go behind in the first half before equalising. The match went to penalties with Chloe Kelly winning it for England with the fifth spot kick for the team.

Charlotte later headed on to the pitch to see William join the presentation party on the podium. The two were later photographed watching the Lionesses celebrate.

Royal Family leads celebrations for England

The Royal Family took a lead role in celebrating the success with The King sending a message of congratulations within minutes of the final whistle. Charles III called the team ‘awesome’ and praised their spirit and determination as well as the way they had inspired others.

And His Majesty had a simple request for the team who are easily one of the most successful England has ever produced in any sport. The King asked the squad to focus o winning the World Cup in 2027.

They came close to taking that title in 2024 when they played Spain in the final in Australia but they were ultimately unlucky.

A win in the Women’s World Cup would be an ever greater moment of national unity – England last won a football World Cup in 1966 when Bobby Moore captained the men to a famous 4-2 win over West Germany at Wembley. Queen Elizabeth II presented the Jules Rimet trophy to the team with celebrations lasting for days afterwards.

England’s women are now aiming to add the World Cup title to their impressive haul of major wins.

They appeared to enjoy every moment of their London celebrations which took them to the Palace.

The Victoria Memorial at Buckingham Palace has become a focal point for national celebrations in recent times with its grandeur and elegance of the memorial evoking respect and embodying a rich tapestry of tradition and legacy that resonates across the nation.

Situated at Buckingham Palace, it symbolizes reverence and pride, encapsulating the essence of a nation steeped in history and tradition. This presence reflects a deep connection to the country’s heritage, exuding a sense of deep-rooted significance.
