He is a class act. He was in the dressing room before the game. He is a massive Villa fan, so he was never going to miss it, and it is obviously fantastic to have his support.
Captain John McGinn expressed his gratitude for Prince William's unwavering support, noting his presence in the locker room before the match and his status as a dedicated Villa supporter.

He is just a normal guy. Hopefully, he can join us for a few drinks tonight and get his card out at the end of the night.
