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.'
Indeed, after winning the tense match, which ended with a 1-0 scoreline in Spain's favour, the team were true world champions, and they celebrated in style, dancing on the pitch - with even Queen Letizia joining in, as she jumped and pumped her fist into the air.
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 ahead of the match, William wished the Lionesses luck alongside his daughter Princess Charlotte, who held a football.
Conversely, Queen Letizia and her 16-year-old daughter, Infanta Sofia, had travelled to Sydney, 'to show, once again, the royal household's support for national football', as confirmed by 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.

Prince William shared his well wishes in the clip that was released ahead of the game.
During the video, 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 did 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 he decided to watch the game at home in Anmer Hall, Norfolk, instead.
One is 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 was 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.'
