Prince William‘s football banter drew attention after a candid Royal Ascot clip spread on Instagram. The Prince of Wales sat beside Princess Kate in the Ascot Landau carriage during the Royal Procession.
A stranger shouted, “up the Villa,” and William answered with a quick smile and club talk. The moment gave royal watchers another casual glimpse of his Aston Villa loyalty. It also came weeks after Villa’s major European win.
Royal watchers are praising Prince William after a candid moment
As per Kings Guard Tours Instagram clip, Prince William was seen riding beside Princess Kate at Royal Ascot. The caption said he “delights crowds with his football banter.” It also described the couple as “magnificently elegant” during the second day of Royal Ascot. In the clip, a member of the crowd shouted, “up the Villa.” William laughed and replied, “I think people are saying that now.” Then, he asked, “Are you?”
Meanwhile, the stranger appeared to signal support for Aston Villa. William raised his hand slightly and kept the exchange moving. He then added, “Good season.” The football moment landed because William is a known Aston Villa supporter. The BBC previously reported that he celebrated Villa’s Europa League final win in Istanbul in May. After that victory, William posted congratulations to the players, staff, and everyone connected to the club.
Still, the Instagram reaction focused as much on the Royal couple’s appearance and praises as the football exchange. The post had 452.2K likes, 8K comments, and 2.2K shares. One comment read, “They seem so lovely and down to earth. He’s going to make a great King.” The clip also showed Kate in a bright yellow Royal Ascot look beside William. For context, the BBC said William chose Aston Villa during his school years. He once explained that he wanted a club outside the usual popular choices. The short exchange showed that his football loyalty still works as easy crowd banter.
