Prince William has previously spoken about his love for the game of soccer, as well has his passion for the Midlands club Aston Villa.
In 2015, the Duke of Cambridge told BBC presenter Gary Linker: “A long time ago at school I got into football big time.
“I was looking around for clubs. All my friends at school were either Manchester United fans or Chelsea fans and I didn’t want to follow the run of the mill teams.
“I wanted to have a team that was more mid-table that could give me more emotional rollercoaster moments.
“Aston Villa’s always had a great history. I have got friends of mine who support Aston Villa and one of the first FA Cup games I went to was Bolton v Aston Villa back in 2000.”
William continued: “It was the atmosphere, the camaraderie and I really felt that there was something I could connect with.”
