Prince William cheers on Aston Villa at semi-final

The Prince of Wales was seen cheering on Aston Villa in their European semi-final on the evening of his daughter Princess Charlotte’s ninth birthday.

Prince William was among the spectators at Villa Park on Thursday and watched on as the home team lost 4-2 in the first leg of the Europa Conference League tie against Olympiacos.

The self-confessed Villa fan was seen reacting and gesturing throughout the first half in a private seating area he was sharing with friends.

One image showed him celebrating a Villa goal that was later disallowed for a foul in the build-up.
