Prince William and his son Prince George had a father-son night out on Thursday, attending an Aston Villa football match in Birmingham, England.

William and George, 10, the eldest of William and Kate’s three children, sat next to each other during the match as they cheered on Aston Villa in a 2-1 win over French team from Lille.
William reportedly made no public comments about Kate’s health at the match, but he confirmed to a reporter that George was following in his footsteps as an Aston Villa fan.
When Sunday Paper sports reporter Neil Moxley asked if George was “part of the Pride,” William reportedly replied, “Oh yeah, he loves it,” according to an account of the exchange shared by Moxley. on.
William and Kate have remained out of the public eye since Kate’s March 22 announcement, shared in a video message, that cancer had been discovered during post-operative scans after she underwent planned abdominal surgery at mid-January.
