But the father-son duo—who are first and second in line, respectively, to the British throne—were taken on quite an emotional rollercoaster during the sporting event as Aston Villa was ultimately defeated by PSG with a final score of 5-4.

\”I\’m somewhat hopeful that they\’ll each form their own teams eventually,\” he said.
