Like father, like son! Prince George shares his dad Prince William's ion for the professional soccer club Aston Villa. Mike Tindall, who is married to Prince William's cousin Zara, spoke about George's love for the sport and the team in an interview with The Telegraph that was published on Saturday, Oct. 12.

Mike shared, "George loves his football. I’ve played numerous times in the garden with him. He’s ionate about Aston Villa, too. Wherever he is, he’ll sit down and watch that game."

The Prince of Wales' cousin-in-law added, "They’re just a family who love sport." Mike also revealed that the Princess of Wales "loves her running."

It's no secret that George is a soccer fan. For his sixth birthday in 2019, the young Prince reportedly had a soccer-themed party. He's also cheered for Aston Villa alongside his father.
