LONDON — It was a great weekend for England and sports.
On Sunday night, the England women’s national football team won against Germany in the UEFA European Women’s Championship at Wembley Stadium. The seated crowd of 87,192 was a record number for any men’s or women’s UEFA European Championship match.
It is the first time England have won a major championship title since 1966.
The local party brought together members of royalty, musicians and politicians.
Former Spice Girls Geri Horner and Mel C sported England soccer jerseys while posing on Instagram, while the Duke of Cambridge attended the match alone.
He was wearing a classic navy two-piece suit with a white shirt and striped tie.

Earlier in the day, the prince posted a good luck video message on Instagram for the women’s team, known as the Lionesses. He did it with his daughter, Princess Charlotte, who wore a short-sleeved polka dot top.
In Plymouth, in the south west of England, there were more victories to celebrate as Team Great Britain won the Commonwealth special race against New Zealand.
The Duchess of Cambridge, royal patron of the 1851 Trust, the official charity of the Great Britain SailGP team, was there to cheer them on.
The 1851 Trust aims to introduce young people to the fields of science, technology and engineering.
Olympic gold medalist Sir Ben Ainslie led the race, commenting that the Duchess was “a very good sailor in her own right. She has also sailed with me on frustrating boats, and we look forward to a little extra help.”
Before the race, Middleton met with youth from the charity and took part in lessons on seagrass conservation.
He was wearing a pair of tailored shorts from Holland Cooper; a navy and white striped cashmere sweater from Erdem; and white Superga sneakers.
All the brands that the Duchess wears are part of her usual wardrobe.
Holland Cooper has become a favorite of English high society like Viscountess Emma Weymouth and Lady Kitty Spencer. Middleton often wears tailoring and outerwear from the brand.
Meanwhile, Erdem has become a fixture in the wardrobe of young British royals, especially Princess Eugenie and Katharine, Duchess of Kent.
When out sailing, Middleton opted for an O’Shea wetsuit; a Henri Lloyd baseball cap and Adidas Performance Pureboost X sneakers.
