Prince William has opened up about one his favourite ways to relax, admitting as his children grow up he is enjoying sharing his passion for soccer with them.
The second in line to the British throne is a devoted fan of Aston Villa and revealed it has been a joy to get to bring his children to matches with him as they grown.
The Prince of Wales, already takes his eldest son, Prince George, to games but says he wants his children to make their own choices.
"I'm kind of hoping they'll all find their own teams in time," he told The Sun. "They don't all have to be Villa fans. I'm trying not to be biased, but obviously they see how passionate I am about it and they watch the matches with me. I'm trying to spread the love a little bit."
William revealed that while George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis own Villa shirts and ask to attend matches, they are also interested in other teams. "There's been a bit of courting going on by other managers too," he joked.
The Prince also shared his matchday superstitions, revealing that he often moves around the house if Villa isn't performing well. "If we're not doing very well, I start moving round the house quite quickly and I put the children in different positions hoping that's going to change our luck."
He also admitted he spends 'ages' on internet forums, where he posts using a secret name, following his team's progress.
"I’d grown up looking at Ceefax on the television or the back pages of newspapers and if you didn’t have those to hand you were a bit out of the loop."
He added: "I like going on the forums, I can be on there for ages. I listen to what other fans have to say and give them my opinions. I get quite into it, definitely. It’s important to have that debate."
