Future King’s Match-Day Rituals Go Beyond Just Being a Fan
Prince William’s lifelong passion for Aston Villa is well known, but his match-day superstitions have taken royal fans by surprise.
The future King was seen enthusiastically cheering on Wednesday as his favourite team secured a historic spot in the Champions League quarter-finals. However, his love for the club extends beyond mere support—it involves carefully planned rituals aimed at bringing luck to his team.
In a past interview, William admitted that his football obsession intensified in 2016, largely due to smartphones allowing him to track results and analyse statistics. His match-day traditions include assigning specific seating arrangements to his children when watching Villa play, believing it influences the game’s outcome.
His eldest son is often seen accompanying him to matches, reflecting the royal family's deepening connection to the sport.
