The Prince of Wales and Prince George went through a rollercoaster of emotions at Aston Villa's Champions League match in Paris on Wednesday night.

Ahead of the game against Paris Saint-Germain, Prince William said in a TV interview how much it meant to have his eldest son with him in the stands.

Speaking to Rio Ferdinand and Ally McCoist on TNT Sports, he was asked if he was on a "lads tour" to the match with friends.

William replied: "Well, I've got my son here as well, so I'm on best behaviour as well.

"But I thought: You know what, 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 one happens, but I think those memories are really important to create and bringing him along tonight is a big deal for me."

The future King was pictured punching the air and hugging George, who was wearing an Aston Villa scarf, as he celebrated Morgan Rogers giving the Birmingham side a first-half lead.
