The identity of the youngster who won over countless hearts after inadvertently breaching Royal protocol during the Lionesses trophy ceremony has now been disclosed. The girl positioned herself beside Prince William as the England squad received their medals following their penalty shootout victory over Spain in the Euro 2025 final. She was clearly elated as she welcomed the team on their journey to the podium to claim the trophy.

She has subsequently received praise across social media platforms, with numerous viewers moved by her delighted responses. It has now emerged that the girl was present at the final as UEFA's special invitee. She has been named as Greta, a 12 year old from Switzerland. She lives with a genetic variant of epilepsy, receiving her diagnosis as an infant, reports the Express. Greta participated in the trophy ceremony as an invitee of the UEFA Foundation For Children, an organisation that routinely welcomes young individuals with disabilities or additional needs to participate in formal proceedings. A statement from the governing body declared: "Greta is a cheerful, open-minded, and determined young girl with a great passion for sport. "Her enthusiasm, perseverance, and love of sport made her a fitting and inspiring choice to participate in the medal ceremony alongside UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin." Greta was seen having a conversation with William throughout the ceremony, with the future monarch placing his hand on her shoulder whilst they beamed and spoke together. The young girl stole the show with her enthusiastic approach to greeting the players (Image: GETTY) Viewers tuning into the trophy presentation were thrilled by Greta's excitement, with @thereusableuser posting on X (formerly Twitter): "Sorry but this girl pulling everyone's hand out of William's is killing me." @caitsrightboot commented: "She was obviously very happy and excited. Who wouldn't be excited to shake hands with the whole Spain and England team?". @AHowroyd remarked: "She looked so so happy to be there, it was brilliant to see her grabbing their hands," whilst @MelDorado9 posted: "She was the real royalty. Was super cute the big hug she got from Chloe Kelly." Prince William was also accompanied by his daughter, Princess Charlotte, to witness England claim the Euros for the second consecutive time. Following the trophy ceremony, she received a winner's medal to take home and was photographed gripping it with tremendous excitement. Charlotte subsequently penned her inaugural official statement on the Kensington Royal account, praising the Lionesses on their landmark triumph. The statement declared: "What a game! Lionesses, you are the champions of Europe and we couldn't be prouder of the whole team. Enjoy this moment England. W & Charlotte."
