In May, William took to the micro-blogging platform after Villa secured qualification for this season's Champions League campaign.
The future monarch hailed the impact of Villa coach Unai Emery, noting that he'd led the Midlands team to a "historic season and an amazing achievement".
William wrote on X at the time: "We are Champions League! A historic season and an amazing achievement. Thanks to Unai, the whole squad and everyone at @AVFCOfficial. Can't wait for next season. #UTV! W (sic)"
Meanwhile, in July, William heaped praise on Villa star Ollie Watkins after his last-minute goal against the Netherlands took England through to the Euro 2024 final.
