Prince George is now a full-on Aston Villa fan like his dad Prince William.
George, 10, joined the Prince of Wales, 41, to cheer on the soccer team on April 11, and afterward, William confirmed his son was following in his footsteps as a Villa fan.
As he left the stadium, Prince William was asked if Prince George was now “part of the pride,” a phrase Villa supporters use to describe their team’s followers.
“Oh yes, he’s loving it,” William replied, according to sports journalist Neil Moxley, who shared the exchange on X (formerly Twitter.)
Moxley — who is a chief sports writer at the U.K. newspaper The Sunday People — wrote in his post that he asked William “Your Highness – after the Mostar game we saw you and you said 1-0 was a good result in Europe. How was this?”
“Two-nil would have been better,” Prince William responded. He was then asked if his son was “now part of the pride?” prompting the Prince of Wales’ affirmative response.
