Prince William and Prince George Have a Father-Son Night

The father and son were spotted in the stands cheering on their favorite soccer team, Aston Villa, as they faced Lille OSC during the UEFA Europa Conference League 2023/24 quarterfinal match in Birmingham on April 11. Cameras caught the Prince of Wales, 41, and his son, 10, standing up and clapping, with Prince George sporting a scarf around his neck.

Aston Villa secured the win with a score of 2-1.

Soccer player Tyrone Mings was also photographed near the royals. In June 2023, Prince William and Mings visited Sheffield together (and played some basketball!) to put a spotlight on how sports can connect young people with their communities as part of Homewards, William’s initiative to combat homelessness.

Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are currently on a school break surrounding Easter, and they’ve been spending time privately with Prince William and Kate Middleton  On March 22, the day classes let out for vacation until mid-April, the Princess of Wales, 42, revealed she is undergoing treatment for cancer

Princess Kate directly addressed the impact of her health news on her family in her personal video message, outlining, “William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.”

“As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be ok,” the Princess of Wales said. “As I have said to them; I am well and getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal; in my mind, body and spirits.”
