On Facebook, one user commented, "Doesn't really look like him something about this pic of him is weird [sic]." Another user added, "Wow Wills. You looking a bit rough. Take the wife on a holiday trip. You both need one [sic]."

However, not all remarks focused on his appearance negatively. Some users praised Prince William, with comments like, "Handsome and nice!" and "Charming 😍❤️."

The Birmingham event came just a day after the announcement of two significant patronages for the Prince and Princess of Wales. On January 14, 2025, Prince William was officially named Patron of the College of Paramedics. The organization shared the news on its Instagram page.

That same day, it was revealed that Prince William and Princess Catherine had been named joint patrons of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. This new role carries special significance for Princess Catherine, who has a personal connection to the organization following her own cancer treatment.

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity shared the news on Instagram, highlighting the Princess of Wales' visit to their Chelsea hospital earlier that day.

The post emphasized her commitment to supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family wellbeing.

During her visit, Princess Catherine met patients undergoing treatment and connected with staff to learn more about the advanced care offered at the facility.

In a moving Instagram post, Catherine reflected on her journey and expressed gratitude for the care she received over the past year.

"My heartfelt thanks go to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything... The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional."

She conveyed hope and enthusiasm for her new role, expressing her desire to support innovative research, advance clinical excellence, and prioritize the well-being of patients and their families.

Princess Catherine, 43, expressed her relief at being in remission but acknowledged the difficulties of adapting to a "new normal" following her cancer diagnosis. She concluded her message by thanking supporters and expressing hope for the year ahead.

After attending the College of Paramedics' inaugural emergency and critical care conference in Birmingham, Prince William made arrangements to meet with Aston Villa fans and even bought a round of beers during the gathering.

Steve Jones, a 56-year-old Villa supporter of 35 years, explained that the club had informed them about William's desire to meet a delegation of fans while in Birmingham. According to Jones, the Prince wanted to stay informed about all things related to Aston Villa.

Jones described William as fantastic, noting that he was impressed by how engaged and genuinely interested the Prince was in the club. He emphasized that William's passion for Villa goes beyond that of a casual fan, calling him deeply committed to the team.

During their conversation, they discussed a range of topics, including the team's transfers, the upcoming Champions League trip to Monaco, and other Aston Villa-related matters.

Jones remarked on how many questions William asked, showcasing a strong knowledge and curiosity about the club.

William also briefly mentioned his children, sharing that while George is a Villa fan, he didn't want all three of his kids to support the same team.

Jones added that the conversation was overwhelmingly focused on Aston Villa, as it was their shared interest, but a small part touched on William's family.

He said the Prince appeared hopeful about Villa's match against Everton that evening and planned to watch it, though he expressed some concern about the challenges posed by a new manager — or in this case, an old manager returning.

The Prince of Wales' visit to the Wetherspoons in Birmingham further highlighted his ability to connect with people on a personal level, reinforcing his reputation as a relatable and approachable royal figure.

As discussions about his health and appearance continue online, Prince William remains steadfast in his efforts to champion the causes that matter most to him and his family.
