The Prince and Princess of Wales dazzled royal fans on Thursday as they took part in their first work outing since the end of March.

The duo headed to Birmingham to celebrate the "city's diverse culture and heritage" and hosted local business owners at an event in The Rectory in the historic Jewellery Quarter, where William hilariously took a customer's call, as you can see in the video below.

For their joint outing, the royal couple pulled out all the stops with Kate choosing to dress elegantly in a beautiful burgundy midi dress from high street favourite Karen Millen.

The royal has often spoken about why he supports the team, telling BBC presenter Gary Lineker 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.

"Aston Villa's always had a great history. I have got friends of mine who support Aston Villa and one of the first FA Cup games I went to was Bolton v Aston Villa back in 2000. Sadly, Villa went on to lose to Chelsea."

He added: "It was fantastic, I sat with all the fans with my red beanie on, and I was sat with all the Brummie fans and had a great time.

"It was the atmosphere, the camaraderie and I really felt that there was something I could connect with."
