Prince George cheers on Aston Villa

Prince George cheered on Aston Villa as they took on Norwich on Saturday (05.10.19).
The son of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge couldn’t be more thrilled as his team, Aston Villa, won five to one against Norwich City at Carrow Road.
The football team wrote on their official page: "You know how to pick your #AVFC games, Your Royal Highness. (sic)"
The six-year-old royal was seen cheering as Jack Grealish, Conor Hourihane and Douglas Luiz all scored a goal each whilst Wesley Moraes managed an impressive two.
Prince George was accompanied by his father Prince William, his mother Duchess Catherine and his sister Princess Charlotte, who looked much less enthused as she sat through the game.
Meanwhile, Prince William has called for the "outrageous" racism in modern football to end.
He said recently: "It’s quite hard. People are now talking a little bit about mental health issues but I imagine talking about racism is still quite a difficult subject, especially when it’s happening in such a public fashion with Premier League matches or Champions League. We’ve got to do something about it. I’m fed up with it. I’m so bored of it. It’s outrageous what’s happening, it really is."
Whilst Darren Smith, a programme leaders for football and coaching management at UCFC Wembley, added: "We’re trying to help people feel part of the community through football, but there’s still a barrier there. It does have an effect on mental health. People are using different platforms to express it and think they can get away with it."
