Speaking to The Sun at Villa’s training ground this week, Prince William, 42, said: “If I’m home alone with the children, I probably don’t have the pre-match pint but I do have a bit of superstition about where I sit when I’m watching them.
“If we’re not doing very well, I start moving round the house quite quickly and I put the children in different positions hoping that’s going to change our luck.”
Meanwhile, revealing his hope for his kids, the prince added: “I’m kind of hoping they’ll all find their own teams in time. They don’t all have to be Villa fans.”
