It’s good to be (a future) king.

Prince William’s son Prince George proved that when the 13-year-old shelved the stuffy suit and tie and embraced his individuality in a black Adidas tracksuit on Nov. 3, it was a stark contrast to his typically tailored look. And fans flipped for his ‘fit,’ with many commenting how great it was to see the teen actually looking like one for once.

Prince George wore the black jacket with white stripes in Barcelona, Spain, to support his favorite soccer team (known as football in the UK), Aston Villa. According to Today.com, the jacket had the Aston Villa logo on it and it is said to be the same gear that team members wear. Today.com said Prince William went casual—for him—but his rain jacket and navy blazer over a crewneck sweater were still much more formal than Prince George’s untraditional track suit.

According to Yahoo Entertainment, fans were excited to see Prince George’s casual attire at the match (which Aston Villa lost 3-0). Yahoo reported that one fan took to Instagram to comment: “Love these two!” “They are the coolest!”

It seems Prince William’s love for Aston Villa was passed on to Prince George, as the pair have previously attended other matches. Yahoo said their outings included attending Aston Villa’s Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain in April 2025.

A representative for FC Barcelona took to X, formerly Twitter, to share the club’s gratitude that the two future kings turned up to see the match.

“FC Barcelona is honoured to welcome His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales and His Royal Highness Prince George to the Spotify Camp Nou. Thank you for joining us for a special evening of Champions League football featuring your beloved Aston Villa,” it said.

Prince George recently began studying at the prestigious Eton College boarding school, just as his father Prince William did, serving as a House Captain and prefect. Prince William would go on to study at the University of St. Andrews, from which he graduated in 2005 with a Master of Arts degree. More importantly, that’s where he met a young Kate Middleton who later became his wife.

Fans of Netflix’s The Crown will recall King Charles, who was the first heir apparent to earn a university degree, reluctantly followed in the footsteps of his father, Prince Edward, and attended Gordonstoun in Scotland from 1962 to 1967. According to the show, it was a miserable experience for him all around.

Prince George is the oldest son of Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge (formerly Kate Middleton). He is second in line to the throne behind King Charles and Prince William.
