Prince William to share football outing with Prince George at Barcelona clash - Geo News

Prince William is set for the excitement of European football tonight to watch his beloved Aston Villa take on Barcelona at the iconic Spotify Camp Nou.

Prince WIlliam together with son Prince George is expected to attend the Champions League clash on Tuesday, November 3, and watch the action from the stadium's presidential box. 

The two sides meet for Matchday Four of the Champions League, with kick-off scheduled for 9pm local time.

The Catalan club is prepared to welcome the Prince for the match, although his attendance remains unconfirmed due to scheduling and security arrangements.

Meanwhile, William is said to view his eldest son's break from Eton College as an opportunity to build on the royal education he has been giving him for years. 

Rather than relying solely on lessons about the monarchy's past, William wants George to develop a better understanding of the challenges facing the Royal Family today.

According to a source quoted by the National Examiner, the future King has been teaching his son about his eventual responsibilities for some time, but there is now a greater focus on preparing him for the role that lies ahead.

The source claimed he has been discussing current issues within the family and the wider monarchy with George, helping him understand the work involved in supporting the institution.

He has reportedly expressed a wish for him to sit in on some meetings during the holiday.

"George is apparently fascinated by it all," the source added.
