Prince Louis has officially joined his family’s growing interest in football, showing support for his dad Prince William’s team, Aston Villa. Recently, the 6-year-old was spotted wearing an Aston Villa jersey, which appeared to be a hand-me-down from his older brother, Prince George, while holding hands with his mother, Kate Middleton. This sighting follows in the footsteps of both his brothers, with Prince George having played soccer at a local level with his dad.
Prince William, who is a long-time fan of Aston Villa, had previously shared how he let George choose his soccer team but expressed concern when George leaned toward supporting Chelsea, a rival team. Nevertheless, William and George were later seen enjoying a game together, with William reportedly feeling buoyed by Aston Villa’s recent results.
As the president of the Football Association, Prince William’s support for Aston Villa goes beyond just being a fan; he’s fond of the club’s rich history and was drawn to the team in his younger years for its emotional rollercoaster moments, wanting to avoid choosing a “run-of-the-mill” team like Chelsea or Manchester United. Meanwhile, the royal family continues to share its love for the sport, with football playing an important role in their family dynamics.
