    Princess Kate recently shared that she couldn't wait for her Prince George to return from Eton College for his first half-term break, and on November 3, it was revealed that at least two members of the Wales family are currently enjoying some time off in Spain.

    Prince William and Prince George were spotted attending an Aston Villa match against FC Barcelona on Tuesday night, with the Telegraph reporting that the pair were gifted Barcelona shirts by club president Joan Laporta.

    George was dressed casually in a black Adidas jacket with the Aston Villa logo, while the Prince of Wales wore a navy coat and baseball hat on the rainy night in Barcelona.

    Prince William has been an Aston Villa fan for years and often brings his teenage son with him to matches, like the Champions League quarter-final game in Paris last spring.

    Unfortunately, Aston Villa lost to Barcelona 3-0 on Tuesday, but despite the loss and the terrible weather, it was a rare chance for the two future Kings to enjoy a one-on-one outing.

    “I think those memories are really important to create, and bringing him along tonight is a big deal for me," the Prince of Wales said in Paris last year, adding how exciting it was for George, who was 11 at the time, to “experience a night out away from home in a big European competition."

    As for Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte, it's unclear if they're also in Spain at the moment, but Princess Kate told a woman they were potentially taking a trip for their half-term break when she visited East Anglia's Children's Hospices last month.

    "She said she's looking forward to George coming home—she's missed him,” Denise Ashton, who met the Princess of Wales, told journalists, per Hello! “They may be going somewhere [during the break]," Ashton added.
