Prince William made another public appearance recently, and this time, the reason for his presence was quite exciting.
His wife, Kate Middleton, had announced that her cancer is in remission, and the prince decided to show his support for his favorite team, Aston Villa, at a UEFA Champions League match in Monaco.
Prince William at Aston Villa Match
The Prince of Wales took a trip to the picturesque coast of France to watch his beloved Aston Villa take on AS Monaco.
The event was his first royal engagement since Kate revealed her good news on January 14. Eager to get back into the swing of things, William joined fans at the Stade Louis II stadium.
Although Aston Villa failed to emerge victorious, losing 1-0 to the home side, the prince was there, enjoying the atmosphere and cheering from the stands.
His passionate reaction during the match captured the attention of the media and fans of the British royals, who are well aware of his love for the sport.
William wore a blue jacket and gray sweater over a blue shirt. Despite the chilly Monaco weather, he kept his spirits up, even rubbing his hands together to keep warm as he chatted with the people beside him.
This scene resonated with many, reminding them that, despite being a prince, he is also a simple fan who feels the excitement of the game.
In fact, his gestures of emotion and frustration caused more than one person to talk about it on social media.
Unfortunately, this time luck was not on his side, as the defeat left a bitter taste in the mouths of Villa fans and, probably, in the heart of the future king.
