Prince William is also a keen fan of the sport

Princess Kate has revealed that her three children share a passion for football during a heartwarming conversation with an Irish Guard’s son.

The Princess of Wales, 43, made the disclosure while chatting with seven-year-old Noah Hogan at Wellington Barracks in London during St Patrick’s Day celebrations yesterday.

During the exchange, Kate asked Noah if he enjoyed football before sharing: “Our kiddies play football.”

The revelation offers a glimpse into the shared sporting interests of Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six.

Kate was attending the event in her role as colonel of the regiment, a position she took over from her husband Prince William.

The conversation with Noah revealed more about the Wales children’s sporting activities.

Do you like football? Our kiddies play football. Have you started playing at the weekends yet?” Kate asked the youngster.

After Noah confirmed he plays, Kate continued: “Do Mummy and Daddy come and watch? When they can?”

When Noah replied that his father doesn’t watch much due to work commitments, Kate shifted the conversation to his future aspirations.

The Princess also chatted with Noah’s 12-year-old brother Lucas, noting: “You’re the same age as George. So you haven’t got exams this year?”

This casual exchange offered a rare insight into the royal children’s recreational interests and normal family activities.

The football connection is unsurprising given Prince William’s well-known passion for the sport.

The Prince of Wales is often spotted at Villa Park and Wembley during major fixtures involving his beloved Aston Villa or to watch England.

William was recently among the 40,000 passionate Aston Villa fans during their Champions League second-leg clash against Belgian side Club Brugge.

The Midlands club won the two-legged fixtured and will proceed to the quarter-finals of the European competition.
