Sweet new footage emerges of ‘protective’ Kate Middleton putting her arm around Prince George at Euros 2020 final
ROYAL fans gushed over footage of Prince George delightedly hugging his parents at the Euro 2020 Final on Sunday - but now a new clip has emerged.
The video shows a sweet moment at the end of the game, where Kate, 39, put a “protective” arm around her seven-year-old son as they prepared to leave Wembley Stadium.
Prince William, 39, can also be seen putting his arm around his wife, 39, in a rare moment of public affection as they enjoyed a sweet moment as a family.
Fans took to Instagram to call the moment “beautiful”, with one saying: “It really show's how normal and down to earth they're and how much they're protective of George.”
Another added: “This family is everything”, while a third wrote: “Such lovely and sweet parents.”
The heartwarming moment took place after England narrowly missed winning the Euro 2020 trophy, losing on penalties to Italy.

Earlier in the game, George was seen celebrating with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as England scored their first goal in the opening minutes.
However, when Saka’s penalty miss broke English hearts, William could be seen clutching his son’s shoulder in comfort.
Duncan Larcome, author of Prince Harry: The Inside Story, told Fabulous: “It wasn’t for the cameras, it wasn’t to prove some public point, it was an instinctive reaction from a father who loves his son.

“A father who is George’s hero from all accounts, and was desperate to see the Wembley games by his side.”
The young royal is said to have "twisted William and Kate’s arms" to get to be in the stands, and his choice of a suit was thanks to his dad as "George idolises him".
Duncan told OK! magazine: "That’s why we saw him looking so smart in his suit—he really wanted to dress like William."
