The royals are an incredibly sporty bunch and some are renowned for their love of the game, particularly self-confessed Aston Villa fan, the Prince of Wales.
And it seems that Prince William's eldest son, Prince George, has followed in his dad's footsteps with appearances at the Euro 2020 tournament in summer 2021 and the FA Cup Final 2024, as well as cheering on his team at home matches.
And at an outing in Birmingham in April 2023, William revealed: "George is generally very happy with Villa, Louis will hopefully choose his own team and Charlotte's just getting into football, so we'll see."
With England facing Switzerland in the Euro 2024 quarter-finals in Germany on Saturday 6 July, no doubt William will be glued to the action.
The future king, who is the President of the FA, travelled to Frankfurt to see the Three Lions draw 1-1 against Denmark in the Group Stages.
It's not just William and his children who are fans, take a look at some of our favourite snaps of the royals playing football…

William gives his best shot during a visit to Spartans FC's Ainslie Park Stadium in Edinburgh in May 2021. The Prince has previously explained why he supports Aston Villa, despite not being from the Midlands, telling Gary Lineker in 2015 that the decision dates back to his childhood.
The Prince revealed: "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."
