The Prince of Wales was seen applauding in the Villa Park stands with his eldest son, Prince George, as forward Ollie Watkins' header saw Villa take an early lead over French side Lille in the 14th minute.
Prince William was spotted enjoying father-son bonding time with George at Aston Villa 's Conference League match up this evening in his first public appearance since Kate Middleton 's cancer diagnosis.
Prince William broke his social media silence following the tragic news of his wife's cancer diagnosis only on Wednesday, paying tribute to England Lioness and Villa forward Rachel Daly after she announced her retirement from international football. The family have kept a low profile in recent weeks as the Princess of Wales takes time to recover amid rounds of 'preventative' chemotherapy to stop the disease.
In a pithy statement shared on the Instagram account ran by the Prince and Princess of Wales, he said: 'Thank you for so many unforgettable performances with Lioneses, Rachel Daly'. 'A patron tells me:"It was all very low-key, with no great fanfare. He just walked in and through the pub. He appeared to be with Carole Middleton,"' The Daily Mail's Richard Eden wrote in today's newspaper.
Earlier this week, the Kensington Palace had posted thank you cards to members of the public who had sent their well wishes to the Princess following the announcement. Kate , 42, announced via an emotional video message at the end of March that she is in the early stages of treatment after a cancer diagnosis
