As patron of the Football Association, the Prince of Wales presented the FA Cup trophy to Crystal Palace Football Club after “historic win.”

He penned, “Congratulations @cpfc on a brilliant FA Cup victory! A historic win and a performance to remember. The support was amazing, you’ve made your fans proud!”

As William and his son Prince George are devoted Aston Villa fans, watching their opponent team, Crystal, winning the final was seemingly heartbreaking.

He also attended last season's FA Cup final between Manchester United and Manchester City.

Prince William, Prince George hit with set setback last month:

Prince William and Prince George attended both the first leg in Paris and the second leg in Birmingham of Aston Villa matches last month.

Aston Villa secured a 3-2 victory in the second leg at Villa Park but ultimately lost the tie 4-5 on aggregate, following a 1-3 defeat in the first leg in France.

The Prince of Wales’ own beloved Aston Villa could make it to the finals, leaving both the future King and his son George heartbroken.
