Prince William could be set to return to TV screens for more football analysis following his impressive appearance discussing Aston Villa's Champions League match.
The Prince of Wales, a passionate Villa supporter, joined pundits Rio Ferdinand and Ally McCoist ahead of the club's game against Paris St Germain on Wednesday evening.
The six-minute preview segment was viewed almost a million times within 24 hours on TNT's page on X.
During the interview, a stunned Ferdinand briefly paused the conversation to joke: "Can I just say something? Do not go for a punditry job please - because I could be out of a job!"
