Why does Prince William support Aston Villa?

It was a historic night for Aston Villa as Unai Emery's side beat Bayern Munich in the club's first Champions League home match for 41 years.

Jhon Duran's late goal sent the Villa Park crowd into ecstasy, in what was a repeat of Villa's 1982 European Cup final victory against Bayern.

The Prince of Wales was one of the lucky Villa supporters to witness the victory but his celebrations came at a price.

"I've lost my voice. I can't quite believe it. 42 years," Prince William said after the match.
