Prince William, Kate Middleton take George and Charlotte to soccer game

Royal soccer fans in the making.

On Saturday, Prince William and Kate Middleton enjoyed watching the Premier League’s Aston Villa take on Norwich City in Norwich, England, along with their two older kids, Prince George, 6, and Princess Charlotte, 4.

The couple decided to leave 17-month-old Prince Louis at home.

The royal family was all smiles as their favorite team, Aston Villa, won 5-1, and Prince George showed off his spirit in an Aston Villa T-shirt as he cheered and clapped for the team.

The youngster is growing to love the sport. He reportedly had a soccer-themed sixth birthday party in July and in his official birthday photos, Prince George is wearing an England national team jersey.

Also in July at a polo match, he was spotted kicking around a soccer ball with his sister.

Prince William has been a longtime fan of the club.

In May 2015, he told BBC presenter Gary Linker about why he’s so passionate about the team.

“A long time ago at school, I got into football big time. I was looking around for clubs. All my friends at school were either Man United fans or Chelsea fans and I didn’t want to follow the run-of-the mill teams,” be explained.

“I wanted to have a team that was more mid-table that could give me more emotional rollercoaster moments,” he added.
