Prince William and Prince George have bonded over a major interest that has gripped them both.

The father and son’s mutual love of sport is well known, with the pair having been seen together at sporting events over the years.

Last month, George joined the Prince of Wales when he attended the FA Cup Final at Wembley as the president of the Football Association.

Wearing matching ties, the duo shared sweet moments during the game and George even helped William hand out the medals to players from winners Manchester United and runners-up Manchester City.

They have also watched cricket and rugby together. William played the latter sport - along with water polo - at university.

Prince William and Prince George have attended many Aston Villa matches over the years, and William has been a long-time fan of the club.

One match this April was George’s first public appearance since his mother Princess Kate announced she had cancer and was undergoing treatment.

George wore a Villa scarf and cheered on the team with his father as they beat Lille 2-1 in the Europa Conference League.

Last year, the pair travelled to France to see Wales take on Argentina in the Rugby World Cup. William is the patron of the Welsh Rugby Union.

The pair sat in the Stade de Marseille's presidential box and met World Rugby chairman and former England captain Sir Bill Beaumont.

And in July of last year, George joined his father at the Ashes at Lord’s to see England take on Australia.
