There's no doubt that Prince William's eldest son, Prince George, is following in his father's footsteps when it comes to loving soccer. The dynamic duo recently attended a UEFA Europa Conference League 2023-2024 quarterfinal match in Birmingham, England, on Thursday, April 11. This event not only showcased the royal family's passion for sports but also highlighted the special bond between father and son.
Exciting Match Brings Royalty Together
The royals made a grand appearance at the match to cheer on Aston Villa as they faced off against Lille OSC. With the crowd buzzing, Aston Villa triumphed with a thrilling 2-1 victory. Fans couldn't help but notice the royal presence in the stands, where Prince William and Prince George were spotted enthusiastically cheering on the team. Their excitement was palpable, and it was clear that this was more than just a casual outing—it was a cherished family moment.
George's Style and Support
Prince William, aged 41, and Prince George, 10, were captured by cameras cheering the team on with fervor. George was spotted proudly wearing an Aston Villa scarf, showing his unwavering support for the players. Interestingly, his siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, were not present at the game, making this outing a unique father-son adventure. This choice of attire by George not only demonstrated his loyalty to the team but also hinted at the budding soccer fan within him.

In a heartwarming exchange captured by journalist Neil Moxley, the Prince of Wales was asked, "Is George now part of the pride?" to which William enthusiastically replied, "Oh yes, he’s loving it," according to an exchange shared on X. This simple yet meaningful interaction highlighted the pride and joy Prince William feels in sharing his passion for soccer with his son.
A Family on Holiday
George and his siblings are currently enjoying a break from school due to the Easter holiday. During this time, their mother, Princess Kate Middleton, announced her cancer diagnosis to the world in a heartfelt video posted by Kensington Palace on March 22. In the video, she shared, “William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”
This revelation was met with immense support from the public. Princess Kate continued, “As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte, and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK.”
Currently, the Princess of Wales is undergoing preventative chemotherapy and has decided to step back from her royal duties during her treatment. “Kate told it perfectly, saying that Mummy was sick but she’s getting better,” an insider revealed to Closer earlier this month, describing how Kate first shared her diagnosis with her children. “George and Charlotte took it more seriously and had more questions than Louis, but in the end, they believe their mother.”
Throughout this challenging period, Kate, 42, has leaned on her supportive family for strength. “She always knew her husband was supportive, but she has never seen this side of William,” the insider added. “He has stepped up in ways that have made her very proud.”
