Prince William and Prince George Head to Manchester City vs. Manchester United Match

Even though Kate Middleton remains out of the spotlight as she recovers from treatments for an unspecified cancer diagnosis, her husband, Prince William continues his measured return to the public eye. And for the second time in recent weeks, that return has included a stop at a soccer game, with his eldest son, Prince George, at his side.

William and George were in the stands at Wembley Stadium to watch the Football Association Challenge Cup on Saturday, in an engagement that was arguably a mix of work and play: as People notes, one of William’s many official duties is to hand the FA trophy off to the winning team, as part of his job as president of England and Wales’s governing body for soccer.

Manchester United was the victor, topping its rivals in a final score of 2-1. While William was arguably agnostic, as he’s a fan of non-competing team Aston Villa, George was seen getting in on the action with an occasional hoot and holler.

Despite his role, William and George aren’t exactly fixtures on the football circuit—but they were spotted at a Birmingham match last month. Unlike Saturday’s appearance, at which William put in time greeting teams, officials, and dignitaries, April’s soccer date was more of a quiet, family outing reportedly planned as a distraction during an Easter holiday break dominated by concerns over Middleton’s health.

In recent weeks, William has reportedly been “digging deep” to juggle support his wife during her recovery as well as care for children George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. He’s also continuing to gear back up to fulfill his day-to-day responsibilities as a royal. It’s likely he’ll continue to do that last task without his wife at his side for now, as Kensington Palace announced last week that Middleton is “not expected to return to work until it’s cleared by her medical team.”
