Prince William welcomed to a soccer game by a crowd that chanted, “If You Hate the Royal Family, Clap Your Hands”; this is exactly what happened

The crowd chanted, "If You Hate the Royal Family, Clap Your Hands," as Prince William attended a soccer match.

Prince William has been going to regular games between royal duties because he is such a big fan of Aston Villa, an English soccer team. He was seen on January 21, leading the sportiest, most opulent life possible, as quoted in a report by Cosmopolitan.

Prince William attended a January 29 Aston Villa vs. Celtics game and was met with banners and chants that were constantly critical of the monarchy. "Lizzie's in a box" (yikes) and the upbeat "If you hate the Royal family, clap your hands" were among the chants, according to The Telegraph.

Celtics supporters displayed a banner that read "Michael Fagan The Prowler," a reference to the 1982 intruder discovered in Queen Elizabeth's bedroom at Buckingham Palace.

In any case, Prince William was spotted celebrating after Aston Villa won 4-3.

The Shamrock Rovers were fined £8,540 last week when their supporters also chanted "Lizzie's in a Box," according to The Telegraph, which also claims that the visitors appear certain to face punishment for all the banners and chanting.

Although Prince William hasn't commented on the banners or chants at these games, it's likely that he's accustomed to the anti-monarchy sentiment that has been around for centuries.
