Queen Letizia of Spain was snapped celebrating with players with her daughter Infanta Sofía as their national team won the women's World Cup final today.
The glamorous royal, 50, had donned a scarlet trouser suit (in honour of her team the Rojas - which means red) to watch the match against England's lionesses.
And before kickoff, she had been full of praise for the squad, as she said: 'It's a joy and it's exciting to be here to support the Spanish Football team. They are already champions.'
As the final whistle blew, announcing Spain as the new World Champions with a scoreline of 1-0, Letizia and Sofía were seen celebrating, and embracing those in the stands around them.
But while the Spanish team's efforts (and ultimately victory) were keenly watched by the country's queen, no member of the British Royal Family went to Australia to cheer on the Lionesses.

Yesterday, Prince William apologised for not attending the World Cup final to cheer on England - as palace sources claim he was concerned about his carbon footprint and the diplomatic ramifications of going to Australia.
In a video posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales' social media account, William wished the Lionesses luck alongside his daughter Princess Charlotte, who held a football.
Queen Letizia and her 16-year-old daughter, Infanta Sofia, were in Sydney, 'to show, once again, the royal household's support for national football', confirmed the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
The pair sat in the presidential box at the Accor Stadium, but weren't joined by King Felipe, who was busy with other official duties.
Letizia visited the Spanish team in Madrid before they travelled to the tournament, watching them train and being presented with a personalised jersey.
She ended the visit with 'a motivational speech that resonated deeply with the players and coaching staff', the federation said.
While the Spanish royals will be cheering on their national side, the Lionesses will not have the same support from members of The Firm.
Prince William, the president of England's Football Association, released a video in which he wished the squad good luck in their match against Spain.

During the clip, the royal says: 'Lionesses, I want to send you a huge good luck for tomorrow. We're sorry we can't be there in person but we're so proud of everything you have achieved and the millions you've inspired here and around the world.
'So go out there tomorrow and really enjoy yourselves.' Meanwhile, a beaming Charlotte, adds: 'Good luck Lionesses!'
The Prince has come under some fire for his decision not to travel to Australia to watch the match in person.
Kensington Palace sources cited several reasons why the prince has decided to watch the game at home in Anmer Hall, Norfolk, instead.
One is the carbon footprint, particularly because he will travel to the US next month to support his green campaign, Earthshot.
It was also considered not to be a diplomatically sound move – both on a family and political level.
William's father Charles has still not visited Australia as King, a country where he is also monarch, and it is thought a short visit from his son would not be diplomatically astute.
A source added: 'It was a finely balanced decision. The Prince of Wales hasn't visited since 2014 so he would wish his next trip to Australia to be a substantial visit.
'He met them [the Lionesses] in St George's Park before they flew out and he has been supporting them throughout the tournament by sending private good luck messages to the manager and team.'
