Queen Letizia of Spain showed her support donning the colours of Spain's kit as she arrived at the World Cup final alongside her daughter Infanta Sofía.
The glamorous royal, 50, who is the wife of King Felipe VI of Spain, commanded attention in an elegant red suit teamed with a black blouse as attended the highly anticipated match today in Sydney.
She was joined by her 16-year-old daughter, Sofía, who also appropriately donned in scarlet in a nod to the Spanish team, who are nicknamed Rojas - which means red. Sofia opted for an oversized eye-catching scarf, which she paired with a cream coat.
But while Spain has the support of their royals in the stands, the Lionesses have no member of the British Royal Family cheering them on in Australia.
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.'
