Princess Charlotte and the Princess of Wales appear to have one more thing in common: their football loyalty. During a visit to Nansledan in Cornwall, Prince William spoke about his daughter’s preferred club while chatting with children at a local school and nursery. The Prince of Wales said: "My daughter loves Chelsea." The comment offered a rare glimpse into Charlotte’s personal interests and set her apart from her father, whose support for Aston Villa has long been part of his public life.
