The Prince of Wales was in Paris alongside his son Prince George and childhood friend Thomas van Straubenzee to watch Aston Villa in their Champions League quarter-final first leg against Paris St-Germain on Wednesday night.
However, despite the diehard Villa fan wearing his "lucky clothes" they lost 3-1 in the Parc des Princes and face a difficult task in the return leg at Villa Park next Tuesday.
Prince William said he was "pretty terrified" and "nervous" but predicted a 2-1 victory as he spoke to TNT Sports pundits Rio Ferdinand and Ally McCoist on the touchline before the game.
