Another said: "It is lovely to see and says so much about how close Prince William and Prince George are."

A third wrote: "Adorable father and son moment."

Prince William did not take Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, to the match, but said in an interview that his youngest children would be watching from home.

The prince has also been open on how he is not pressuring his children to support Aston Villa as he wants them to choose their own teams.

, William said: "It's been 43 years since anything like this has happened in my generation as a Villa fan, and I want George to experience a night out away from home in a big European competition.

"I hope it's not 43 years until the next time it happens. But I think those memories are really important to create and bring him along tonight is a big deal for me."
