Thursday night, Prince William went to Villa Park unannouncedly to witness his favorite Aston Villa play Bosnian team Zrinjski Mostar in the Europa Cup.
The Prince of Wales watched a very tense match, but was ultimately left thrilled when Aston Villa scored a last-minute goal during injury team, leaving them the winners on 1-0. The royal was spotted in the crowd by eagle-eyed audience members, and his visit to the club comes shortly after he and the Princess of Wales headed to Cardiff in order to mark the beginning of Black History Month and the 75th anniversary of the arrival of the HMT Empire Windrush to the UK
When William and Kate arrived for their first engagement, a visit to the Grange Pavilion, they were greeted warmly in the Welsh capital. The future King received a big chuckle when he joked, “Who’s pinching my bottom?” to a group of older men and women.
William and Kate spoke with members of the Windrush Cymru Elders, an organization that was founded in 2017 and strives to advance knowledge of the needs and problems of elderly people of ethnic minorities while also honoring the contributions of the Windrush generation.
