I have friends who support Villa, and one of the first FA Cup games I attended was Bolton vs. Aston Villa back in 2000.\u201d\n</p><p>Over the years, fans have welcomed his presence at matches, recognizing his loyalty to the team. However, at a recent Champions League game between Aston Villa and Celtic, opposing fans unleashed a brutal four-word chant directed at him.\n</p><h3>Public Reaction to the Taunts\n</h3><p>Many people quickly condemned the behavior, showing support for the prince.\n</p><p>One person wrote: \u201cNo need for it, the guy loves soccer and needs respect.

He\u2019s a father whose wife has gone through treatment for cancer and his father is still going through treatment, plus being a parent to three children. Have some compassion.\u201d\n</p><p>A third comment read: \u201cThe man was born into his life, the same way we all were, so it doesn\u2019t justify hatred and insult, the same way we don\u2019t like it\u2026\u201d\n</p><h3>A History of Tension\n</h3><p>This isn\u2019t the first time Celtic fans have taken aim at the royal family.\n</p><p>In 2022, shortly after Queen Elizabeth II\u2019s passing, the club was fined for displaying anti-monarchy banners at a Champions League match. The banners read: \u201cF*** the crown\u201d and \u201cSorry For Your Loss Michael Fagan.\u201d\n</p><p>The latter referred to a 1982 incident when Michael Fagan broke into Buckingham Palace and entered the queen\u2019s bedroom, just days after Prince William was born. The breach became one of the most infamous royal security failures, and Fagan was later diagnosed with schizophrenia.\n</p><p><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' size-full wp-image-55366 aligncenter src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/477694532_1684212972210234_3516701035177032362_n.png%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1024\"' height='\"670\"' title='\"\"'>\n</p><h3>The Recent Controversy\n</h3><p>At the Villa Park match, Celtic fans revived the Fagan reference on banners and chanted: \u201cIf you hate the royal family, clap your hands.\u201d According to MailOnline, the crowd also engaged in songs mocking the queen and Prince Harry, with another disturbing chant\u2014\u201cLizzie\u2019s in a box\u201d\u2014aimed at the late Queen Elizabeth II.\n</p><p>In response, Aston Villa supporters proudly waved Union Jack flags and sang the national anthem to counter the opposition&rsquo;s abuse.\n</p><p>Despite the harsh treatment from Celtic fans, Prince William remained composed, and his team emerged victorious with a 4-2 win.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Prince William, a lifelong soccer fan and devoted supporter of Aston Villa, recently found himself the target of cruel chants during a public appearance at a game.
