The young prince, 11, watched Aston Villa play in the Champions League quarter-final. Even though the team lost, George and William still enjoyed some celebrations when they scored.
With images emerging of the father and son duo enjoying the game, Prince George‘s appearance has left some royal fans in a debate – who does he look like?

Sharing a photo of George at the game, one fan wrote on X: “He is 100% Spencer. #PrinceGeorge.”
However, the post sparked a major debate among fans. Many agreed, thinking he looks just like his late grandmother, William’s mother Princess Diana.
He is the spitting image of Michael Middleton.
One said: “He looks like Diana.”
Another wrote: “He looks just like Charles (Diana’s brother).”
However, others thought Prince George looked like his grandfather Michael Middleton – Princess Kate’s dad.

One person commented: “He looks like Michael Middleton. Nothing like the Spencers.”
Meanwhile, someone else said: “I think he is very much like Michael Middleton.”
A third wrote: “He is the spitting image of Michael Middleton.”
However, others thought George looked like King George VI – Prince William’s great-grandfather and Queen Elizabeth II’s dad.
One said: “I see his great-great grandfather and namesake, King George VI in him.”
Another added: “King George. He looks just like him.”
What football team does Prince George support?
Prince George has often been seen at football matches with his parents. He’s been still supporting England as well as Aston Villa.
The Prince of Wales is an avid Villa fan.
Prince William recently said he hopes his three children – George, Charlotte, nine, and Louis, six, – will “find their own teams in time” to support.
He added: “They don’t all have to be Villa fans.”
Does Prince George play any sports?
It’s said that Prince George enjoys several sports. Earlier this year, William and Kate revealed that George and his younger brother Prince Louis were enjoying rugby.
William said during an engagement: “At weekends we go from one competition to the next. Louis is six and he’s just started touch rugby and George is 11 and he plays a bit more. They do really enjoy it.”
Kate added: “They’ve been exposed to lots of different sports.”
Meanwhile, in 2023, it was claimed that George was playing football “for a local team”.
He’s also shown an interest in tennis – something his mum Kate enjoys too.
Why does the prince support Aston Villa?
Prince William began following football in his school days. He told the BBC in 2015: “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.
“I wanted to have a team that was more mid-table that could give me more emotional rollercoaster moments.”
It’s believed his son has the same passion, and also supports Villa.
