Prince William Reaffirms Aston Villa Loyalty in Eugene Levy Clip, Shares Tom Hanks Story

A first-look segment from The Reluctant Traveler precedes a UK Apple TV+ release on Friday.

Overview

  • In newly released footage on Wednesday, the Prince of Wales says he is a football fan and confirms his support for Aston Villa.
  • He recounts Tom Hanks choosing Aston Villa because the name sounded like a sunny holiday spot, before joking that Birmingham is "not that sunshiney."
  • The exchange with Eugene Levy appears in an episode that includes a private tour of Windsor Castle hosted by Prince William.
  • During the interview, he reflects on the late Queen, saying he misses his grandmother and that Windsor feels closely associated with her.
  • Apple TV+ is set to stream the UK episode on Friday, following a year in which William attended multiple Villa matches, including taking Prince George to a Champions League quarter-final.
