Prince George heartbreak: How royal stole the show at Aston Villa game
PRINCE GEORGE regularly melts hearts during royal outings - none more so than the time he accompanied dad Prince William to an Aston Villa game last September.

Aston Villa and Liverpool go head to head later today in the Premier League. Two weeks ago, Liverpool won English football’s top tier after a 30-year wait. It means the run-away champions have little to play for.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa have everything to play for.
The Claret and Blue side currently sit just six points clear of the bottom of the table.
Norwich City and Bournemouth are the only sides below them.
There are a handful of games still to be played, with Aston Villa hopeful they can clinch enough points to stay in the Premier League.
A loyal fan, Prince William has followed Aston Villa since he was a child.
The Prince previously told the BBC he decided to support the team because he wanted to be different to his friends who followed the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea.
He instead opted for a "middle of the table" side that would give him "emotional rollercoaster moments" and a team he could connect with.
He has at times admitted that he should have perhaps made an alternative choice to give himself an easier ride.

On many a match day has Prince William been spotted in the stands.
Last September, William took his children Prince George and Princess Charlotte to a fixture against Norwich.
The day proved lucrative - with Villa coming away with a resounding 5-1 win.
Prince George melted royal fans and watchers’ hearts as he punched the air as he refused to contain his excitement.

Each time Villa scored, young George could be seen jumping for joy and cheering loudly.

The scenes were captured on camera and posted to the TeaTimewiththeCambridges Instagram page, causing a social media storm.
At the time, one user posted on Twitter: “This video clip is just too adorable!!!
