Prince Louis proves football runs in the royal family

Prince Louis is following in his father Prince William’s footsteps by embracing a love of football. The six-year-old was recently spotted wearing an Aston Villa shirt during a kick-about with his mum, the Princess of Wales.

The young royal’s enthusiasm for the sport matches that of his football-mad dad, who has supported Aston Villa since his school days. William’s influence has clearly passed down to his youngest son, just as it has to Prince George.

Louis wore a Villa shirt that appeared to be a hand-me-down from his older brother, Prince George. The top, bearing the logo of former sponsor Cazoo, was seen during a family outing at Sandringham over the festive period.

Prince William, 42, has been a lifelong fan of the Midlands-based club and has taken George, 11, to watch matches at Villa Park. It seems Louis is eager to follow suit, joining the family tradition.

The royals are known for their love of the sport. Mike Tindall, husband of Zara Tindall, revealed on his podcast that George enjoys regular kickarounds in the garden.

Both George and Louis play for local football teams, with Prince William and Princess Kate often seen cheering from the sidelines. The family’s shared passion creates moments of bonding, as seen during a festive match on the Sandringham estate.

Prince William and George teamed up for the first time in the annual pre-Christmas match between Sandringham estate workers and local villagers. The game, held before Christmas, saw the royal duo playing in the same team.

William, wearing number 18 on his shirt, nearly scored a goal, while George impressed onlookers with his energetic performance. The match was cheered on by Princess Kate, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

In 2020, Prince William shared that he was letting George choose his own football allegiance. He admitted, however, to being concerned when George leaned towards supporting Chelsea at a younger age.

It seems the Prince of Wales’ passion for Aston Villa has won over his sons. Both George and Louis are now proudly embracing the family’s football tradition.

This festive season highlighted how football continues to unite the royal family. From cheering England at Wembley to festive matches on the estate, the sport remains a source of joy and connection for the Wales family.

Prince Louis’ budding enthusiasm is a heartwarming reminder that some royal traditions are passed down not through duty but through shared passions. Fans will surely look forward to seeing the youngest royal continue to follow in his father’s footsteps.
