**BIRMINGHAM, England** – The Prince of Wales, a lifelong Aston Villa supporter, enjoyed a pre-match pint with eight season ticket holders at a Birmingham Wetherspoon’s pub before their team’s game against Everton. Prince William, who was in Birmingham for a paramedics’ conference, joined the fans for approximately 30 minutes, sharing conversation and a Bulmers cider.

The casual gathering, arranged at the Prince’s request, saw him engage in friendly banter about the upcoming match, predicting a tough game against Everton under their newly reappointed manager, David Moyes. Fans described the Prince as “genuine,” “down to earth,” and genuinely passionate about Aston Villa. One fan recounted that the Prince shared how a family friend introduced him to the club at a young age, sparking a lifelong loyalty.

The Prince’s visit comes after a busy week which included attending a paramedics’ conference where he spoke about the pressures of the job. He is a known Aston Villa enthusiast, previously recounting how he chose the club to avoid the popularity of Manchester United and Chelsea. His passion was evident earlier this season when he lost his voice cheering on the team during their Champions League victory. A win against Everton would boost Aston Villa to seventh place in the Premier League.
