Prince William has addressed his "anger" at Aston Villa's game performance in a new video.
Earlier this week, the Prince of Wales and his wife, Princess Kate, travelled to Pontypridd in south Wales to perform joint engagements.
Prince William, 42, met the mother of one of the hosts of The Villa Pride Down Under Podcast - dedicated to Villa fans in Australia.
The host, Ryno, was originally from Pontypridd but now lives Down Under.

Ryno's mother asked Prince William about his thoughts on Villa's performance from the match the evening before, where they lost 4-1 to Crystal Palace.
The father of three admitted: “I had to go and listen to the podcast last night to get my anger out, reading the comments.”
Princess Kate, who stood beside William, laughed as she quipped: “I had all this going on at home, honestly!”
William continued: “It was disappointing. I hope Friday goes better!”
