They don't call us FanSided for nothing.
Over the past few months, we've written a few stories about Prince William's love for Aston Villa. The future King of the United Kingdom is obsessed with his favorite football club and even involves his children in the fun whenever he can.
A recent article published by Hello! Magazine provides another humorous update about the Prince of Wales' intense fandom and how his game day superstitions influence his ability to enjoy close games.
According to Hello! Magazine, Prince William has a "bizarre ritual" whenever he watches Aston Villa play at home. William refrains from having his customary half-pint whenever he's watching a match with the kids, but he does involve the tykes in his personal superstitions.
While speaking with The Sun, William said that he moves around the house "If we're not doing very well, . . . and I put the children in different positions hoping that's going to change our luck."
Does it ever work? I don't know, the Prince never revealed his master strategy's success rate. However, the story itself is still very endearing!
A family man spending time with his children however possible
Fans of the Royal Family already know Prince William is a very busy man. The Prince's love of sport shines during some of his public appearances, but the royal's obligations prevent him from dedicating all his focus to the sports and recreation industry.
This makes his beloved Aston Villa even more important, as William is one of the only people in the Royal Family who's interested in association football.
In the past, Prince William said that he isn't forcing his children to become Aston Villa fans like him. However, it would be nice if one of them fell in love with the club in the next few days.
The same Hello! Magazine article reveals that Prince William plans to watch Aston Villa play Paris Saint-Germain in Paris on April 9. The game in Paris will be the first leg of the Champions League Quarter Final. The second leg will be played on Aston Villa's home field April 15.
Aston Villa defeated Belgium's Club Brugge at Villa Park 3-0 to qualify for the upcoming matchup against PSG.
Prince William's recent decision to take a break from his royal duties will allow him to make the upcoming trip to Paris. The House of Windsor's recent developments highlight the importance of getting some rest whenever they can.
Here's to hoping Prince William has a great time!
