The pair were spotted in Switzerland this afternoon, where excited fans have been packing out fan zones all day.
The princess wore a polka-dot navy dress, while her dad opted for a dapper suit.
William was seen beaming in the crowd, ahead of the Lionesses game.
The Prince was also spotted shaking hands with fellow fans just before kick-off.
Ahead of the final, which starts at 5pm UK time, Prince William joined millions across in England in cheering the Lionesses on.
He said: 'Good luck to the Lionesses tomorrow.
"The nation is so proud you are through to the final, after some stunning comebacks!
"We are all cheering you on!'
His words of support have been echoed by the Band of the Grenadier Guards, who played footie anthem Three Lions in front of Buckingham Palace.
The Lionesses have had an incredible run up until now, beating Italy and Sweden to land a spot in the final.
Although the bookies have counted out the team several times so far, they've proven that they can beat the odds and win.
The Spanish team might be the bookies' favourite to win tonight, but England fans think the Lionesses can pull off another incredible victory.
England fans flock to Basel to roar on Lionesses in Euros final
The match tonight is expected to be especially tense, as the two teams have previously gone head-to-head in the World Cup final 2025.
Sadly, for the Lionesses, Spain won but the Euro final 2025 is a chance for them to get even.

The match is due to take place in Basel, Switzerland, at the massive St Jakob-Park stadium and an estimated 38,000 fans will be in attendance.
Meanwhile, an estimated 16 million Brits will be watching from home, when the game is broadcast on BBC and ITV.
A slew of celebrities have cheered the Lionesses on too, with Amanda Holden saying: 'You can do it girls!
"The whole country is behind you and we are so proud. Bring it home.'
Loose Women's Katie Piper added: 'Good luck Lionesses! You've already inspired so many with your passion, teamwork and fight.'
Ahead of the match, England Skipper Leah Williamson revealed that the team feels the support from the nation behind them.
She said: 'We're very connected to what it means to the nation because it means the same to us.
"The opportunity of tomorrow and what's on offer is the best thing in football — we have a chance to fight for the trophy.
'We recognise the opportunity and we'll do everything we can to take it.'
Fans have flooded the stadium already, bearing flags and even bringing cardboard cutouts of their favourite players.
At home, pub licenses have been extended to 1am so that Brits can cheer on their team together.
