Prince William and his family often attend sports events togetherGettyPrince William is a keen Aston Villa fan and has been supporting the team since he was young.
Now, Prince George is following in his dad's footsteps and often cheers on the team with William.
Speaking about the love of the team in a past interview, William said: "A long time ago at school I got into football big time.
"All my friends were Chelsea or Manchester United fans and I didn't really want to follow the run-of-the-mill team.
"I wanted to have a team that was more mid-table that could give me more emotional rollercoaster moments. Aston Villa has always had a great history."
