Prince William has made his feelings clear about his support for Aston Villa after watching the Birmingham-based football club suffer a heartbreaking elimination from the Champions League.<\/p>\n

The Prince of Wales attended both of Aston Villa’s quarter-final clashes with Paris Saint Germain (PSG) along with his son Prince George.<\/p>\n

The royals watched Villa suffer a disappointing 3-1 defeat in Paris during the first leg of the quarter-final.<\/p>\n

They attended the second leg at Villa Park where Aston Villa fell just short of overcoming the two-goal deficit after recording a 3-2 victory over PSG.<\/p>\n

The French football team qualified for the semi-finals due to winning the tie 5-4 on aggregate.<\/p>\n

Despite the disappointing outcome, Prince William has taken to social media to pay tribute to Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

The Prince of Wales wrote: “Thank you to everyone who made April so special! @EarthshotPrize @footballontnt @AVFCOfficial @scouts @mentivity @united4wildlife”.<\/p>\n

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams told GB News that William and George’s shared passion for football is different to the relationship the Prince of Wales had with his father King Charles.<\/p>\n

Fitzwilliams said: “Charles did not project the sort of exuberance that William is passing on to George.<\/p>\n

“This is a new persona within the Royal Family, as Charles is of a different temperament.<\/p>\n

“That is reflected in the sports you like, but it does take the royal image to a far more informal place, which I think is very good.<\/p>\n

“An enthusiasm for a sport that is so popular does help build a connection.”<\/p>\n

Last month, the Prince of Wales joined football pundits Rio Ferdinand and Ally McCoist ahead of Villa’s match against Paris St Germain to discuss tactics.<\/p>\n

TV insiders were highly impressed with Prince William’s football knowledge.<\/p>\n

A royal source revealed: “Prince William absolutely loved the experience and would 100% be up for doing it again. He is a passionate football fan and has really enjoyed following Aston Villa’s success this season.”<\/p>\n

The source added that William believes “the beautiful game has the power to bring communities together” and is pleased his appearance received such a positive reaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince William has made his feelings clear about his support for Aston Villa after watching the Birmingham-based football…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":68119,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[12,1761,532,5105,7710,519,448,512,978],"class_list":{"0":"post-68118","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-news","9":"tag-prince-george","10":"tag-prince-william","11":"tag-royal","12":"tag-royal-families","13":"tag-royal-family","14":"tag-royals","15":"tag-sgg","16":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114437727477616578","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68118","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=68118"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/68118\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/68119"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=68118"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=68118"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=68118"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
