Prince William delivered an epic response when a stranger shouted 'up the Villa' at him during Royal Ascot. The future King, a devoted Aston Villa fan, engaged in football banter with spectators.
The Moment at Royal Ascot
This week, Prince William attended Royal Ascot with his wife, Princess Kate. As they rode in a carriage, onlookers began discussing football with the Prince. A video posted by Kings Guard Tours on Instagram captured the exchange. When someone shouted 'up the Villa', William laughed and said, 'I think people are saying that now. Are you?' The fan confirmed, and William lifted his hand in acknowledgment, adding, 'Good season.'
Public Reaction
The clip has been viewed over 400,000 times. Viewers praised the couple's down-to-earth nature. One commented, 'The crowds and Prince are amazing.' Another said, 'They seem so lovely and down to earth. He's going to make a great King.' Others admired Princess Kate's yellow outfit and the couple's warmth.
William's Previous Encounters
This is not the first time William has charmed the public. A few weeks ago, he responded brilliantly to another man who addressed him in the street. His natural rapport with crowds has been widely noted.
