PRINCE William and his son George showed a rollercoaster of emotions as they watched Aston Villa’s Champions League quarter-final with PSG in Paris.
The Prince of Wales was seen wildly celebrating and hugging his son, 11 after Villa’s Morgan Rogers first-half goal.

But later, the older Prince was seen with his head in his hands as three spectacular goals gave the French side a 3-1 victory to take to Villa Park next week.
Ahead of kick-off the younger Prince said he ‘wearing his lucky clothes’ before the tie at Parc Des Princes.
George was seen wearing a blue jumper above a shirt and a black jacket, which was accompanied by a Villa scarf.
And minutes before the game started his dad gave an interview to TNT Sport, in which he admitted to be “pretty terrified” ahead of the clash.
The Prince of Wales said bringing Prince George to Aston Villa’s crunch game was a “big deal”, as he spoke to pundits Ally McCoist and Rio Ferdinand.
When asked if he was nervous, he said: “I’m pretty terrified. It’s been a while coming this, so it’s a big game.
“43 years since the last time this happened, a big European night for Villa.
“So yeah, I’m nervous, but I’m confident, but also excited by the whole prospect.”
Asked in the interview ahead of the match, William was asked whether he was on a “lads tour” whilst at the game – when he jokingly admitted that he would be on his “best behaviour” because he had George with him.
He replied: “Well, I’ve got my son here as well, so I’m on my best behaviour as well.
“But I thought, you know what? It’s been 43 years since anything like this has happened in my generation as a Villa fan, and I want George to experience a night out away from home in a big European competition.”
William told the pundits that he was predicting a 2-1 victory for underdogs Villa.
The royal hugged some of Villa’s players, including Marco Asensio and England international Marcus Rashford, as they came out of the dressing room.
William was in the crowd for Villa’s victory over Bayern Munich earlier in the competition and away to Monaco in January.
