Prince William made a notable revelation about his father’s relationship with sport during his appearance on the New Heights podcast. The Prince of Wales disclosed that King Charles has little interest in football, directly contradicting any assumption that the heir to the throne inherited his passion for the game from the royal family.When Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce enquired whether King Charles had sparked his devotion to Aston Villa, William responded candidly. “Absolutely not. My father hates football,” the 44-year-old told the NFL brothers, prompting a visibly taken aback reaction from Travis.William went on to acknowledge that the Royal Family possesses little footballing heritage overall. “My family haven’t got a particularly long history with football. There are a few of us who support teams,” he told the Kelce brothers.
How Prince William developed his passion for football
The heir to the throne explained that his love for the sport developed through childhood friendships rather than any royal influence. “My football love came from friends taking me to my first match and at school growing up. You can’t avoid the football chat. It’s everywhere,” William revealed.
