Spanish Princess Refuses to Hold European Cup (Video)

In one of the amusing moments during the ceremony celebrating the Spanish national team's victory in the European Cup, Princess Sofia captured attention with her shyness, which embarrassed the king of the country. While King Felipe VI of Spain held the "valuable" cup to celebrate with the players, he decided to give his daughter, Princess Sofia Infanta, a chance to hold the cup before passing it to the players. The king asked his daughter to hold the cup, but she shyly refused in front of millions of viewers during the champions' crowning moment.

Afterward, Felipe tried to give the cup to Sofia again, but she continued to refuse to "touch" or hold the cup, feeling excessively shy, before the king turned to the players and presented them with the championship trophy for celebration. Some viewers considered the moment a reflection of the teenage princess's embarrassment about the possibility of dropping the large cup, while others criticized her for rejecting the king's request twice in front of millions.

It’s worth noting that Infanta Sofia is the youngest daughter of King Felipe VI, and she is 17 years old. The Spanish national team won the European Cup title on Sunday evening in Berlin, after a thrilling 2-1 victory over England. King Felipe VI and his daughter Sofia were among those present, alongside British heir William and his son Prince George.
