Prince William received an unexpected request at the end of a particularly emotional day in a surprise event.
The future king, who had been at the Europa League final in Turkey on Wednesday, was in tears as his favorite side, Aston Villa, marked their first trophy win in three decades. William had been a fan of the team since his childhood, so it had been a special moment for him.
William had forgotten he was the heir to the throne for a while, given his reaction, even if the team didn’t. One of the players, John McGinn, revealed that the Prince of Wales had visited them in the dressing room before the game.
John dubbed him the “classic” and “normal guy” who is a “massive fan” of the team.
After their big win and trophy presentation, John had revealed his cheeky plans to get the future King of England to foot the bill for their festivities.
“It’s great to have his support and hopefully it continues and tonight he can have a few drinks with us and maybe get his credit card out at the end of the night!” he told TNT.
It’s safe to assume that the after party would have been a massive celebration (and an expensive one) with all the players and staff coming together to celebrate the win. But even if William were to pull out his credit card, he can easily pay the bill given his net worth.
