An unexpected rift has been brewing in the household in Wales.
Princess Charlotte has sided with her mother, Princess Kate, over Prince William when it comes to football loyalty. While William and Prince George are devoted Aston Villa supporters, Charlotte has apparently chosen to support Chelsea FC – Kate’s favorite team.
The Prince of Wales casually revealed the surprise family split during a visit to Cornwall on Thursday, May 21.
Fresh from Aston Villa’s emotional Europa League win in Istanbul, William visited a sustainable housing development where he chatted with local schoolchildren. When one youngster mentioned supporting Chelsea, the future king smiled and replied: “My daughter loves Chelsea.”
That revelation officially puts Charlotte on Team Kate, while Prince George appears to have inherited his father’s deep love for Aston Villa. William has often attended matches with George over the years and the pair have often been seen celebrating victories from the stands together.
Yet William has previously insisted he is happy for his children to support the clubs they want. “I kind of hope they’ll all find their own teams in time. They don’t all have to be Villa fans,” he previously told The sun. “I’m not trying to be biased, but they obviously see how passionate I am about it and they watch the games with me.”
