While Kate Middleton is panicking the United Kingdom in recent days, the British press is returning to the support of Prince William’s wife for a London Premier League club. However, she is not from the capital…

The British press has been going wild since last weekend about Kate Middleton. While Prince William’s wife underwent a mysterious surgical operation in January, a photo of the future Queen of England, all smiles with her three children, is the subject of countless rumors. The 42-year-old mother does not have her wedding ring and the photo has undergone several edits…

The sports media take the opportunity to recall Catherine Middleton’s favorite football club. This is Chelsea FC. During a public event in 2015, four years after her marriage to Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge high-fived a child fan of the Blues, confirming that she was a supporter of the London band.

She should be a Reading fan…

Kate Middleton is not from London, however. She was born in Reading, a town in the county of Berkshire, west of London, and was a neighbor of the club’s former owner. THE Daily Star explained at the time that the Middleton parents had offered their eldest daughter an apartment in Chelsea, an upscale district of London.

For the record, Prince William, born in London, was educated in private schools in Berkshire, not far from where Kate grew up (whom he then met at the University of St Andrews, in Scotland) . But above all he became a fervent supporter of Aston Villa during the FA Cup semi-final in 2000 won by the Villans against Bolton. Before a final lost 1-0 against… Chelsea!
