Prince William Just Knighted Someone That Will Earn Him Cool Points with George, Charlotte and Louis

Prince William previously revealed that his children play an important role in his soccer superstitions, especially while watching his favorite team, Aston Villa. Speaking to The Sun in March, William said: “If I’m home alone with the children, I probably don’t have the pre-match pint, but I do have a bit of superstition about where I sit when I’m watching them.”

“If we’re not doing very well, I start moving round the house quite quickly, and I put the children in different positions hoping that’s going to change our luck,” he added.
The investiture ceremony was likely a big moment for Prince William, who has spent time with Southgate as president of the Football Association, a position he held for almost 20 years before shifting his role to patron last year.
