Prince William ascends to (football) throne.: Prince William, second in line to the British monarchy, assumed a much more important position: that of Football Association president, currently held by his uncle, Prince Andrew. Like the constitutional monarchy, this will be very much a figurehead role, limited to attendance at events, speech-giving, and general PR. How will Will add some pizzazz to the FA, which has concerns of losing the public's affection to cricket?

BigCalm will be pleased to know that William is a Villa fan.
