PRINCE WILLIAM made TNT Sports’ pundits “nervous” moments before stunning them with his pre-match analysis of his beloved Aston Villa’s clash with Paris Saint-Germain.
The future king – who exclusively told The Sun how he lurks anonymously on Villa fan forums – was a surprise guest for TNT’s coverage of the first leg of the Villans’ Champions League quarter-final tie with the French giants on Wednesday.
And he proved he’s a true supporter with some brilliant tactical analysis.
His understanding of both teams’ tactics blew away Rio Ferdinand and Ally McCoist, who were a bag of nerves as they broke down the game with the monarch.
Speaking on talkSPORT Breakfast, Rangers legend McCoist candidly admitted to co-host Dean Saunders: “I was a bit nervous.”
McCoist, like the viewers at home, was blown away by Wills’ knowledge of the beautiful game.

The Scot continued: “He’s a proper Villa fan, isn’t he? He really, really is. He’s a proper football fan.
“If anybody watched him celebrate that opening goal with his boy, that’s what dads and boys do.
“It was absolutely different class, it really was.
“And I don’t mind telling you, big Rio and I were a little bit nervous before the interview because it’s not every day of the week, you interview royalty live on television.

“But he was magic, proper knows his football, he was really interested heavily into the tactics as well.
“It was just a breath of fresh air, it really was great, and as I say when the camera is on him… and you watch him celebrate with his son with a goal, it’s just brilliant.
“Because it’s every dad and his boy. Every dad and his boy.”
Wills, 42, watched from the stands with Prince George as Villa suffered a 3-1 defeat to the Parc des Princes.
Unai Emery’s troops will look to overturn the deficit on Tuesday night when they welcome the Parisians to Villa Park.
