Kensington Palace has announced that the Prince William will attend the highly anticipated FA Cup final on Saturday, where Manchester’s two leading football clubs, Manchester City and Manchester United, will compete for the prestigious trophy. The Prince, who is the president of the Football Association and a dedicated Aston Villa fan, is set to take his seat in the royal box for the match.
The Prince’s presence at the FA Cup final is a regular occurrence, underscoring his passion for football and his commitment to his role within the Football Association. As an avid supporter of Aston Villa, he often brings his son, Prince George, to matches, potentially providing the young royal with the thrilling experience of a Wembley final.

This year’s final will be a repeat of the 2023 showdown between the same two teams, where Manchester City emerged victorious with a 2-1 win, receiving their winners’ medals from the Prince of Wales himself.
The FA Cup final marks one of the few public engagements by the royal family in the coming weeks. Following the announcement of a surprise summer General Election, the monarchy has decided to postpone other engagements to avoid diverting attention or causing distractions during the election campaign.
The Prince’s upcoming appearance at Wembley Stadium adds a touch of royal prestige to what is already a significant sporting event. Fans of both Manchester City and Manchester United, along with the wider football community, will be watching with keen interest as these two football giants clash once again for the FA Cup title.
