25 April 2007: Royal Fans

Britain's royal family have been talking about football.

Prince William is already known to be a fan of Aston Villa.

And recently, during a reception at Buckingham Palace, the Queen told one of the players that she is an Arsenal fan.

The Queen's late mother was also an Arsenal fan, and even had a favourite player: Denis Compton.

Compton also played for England, and helped Arsenal win the FA Cup in 1950.
