Ah, the sacrifice! Prince William will have to miss his beloved soccer final as it falls on the same day as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s wedding date.
The palace announced that Harry and Meghan will tie the knot at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on May 19 — a Saturday. That is the date of next year’s prestigious Fa Cup Final, which William normally attends and presents the trophy.
William, 35, even had to grin and bear it as he watched his favorite team, Aston Villa, get beaten by Arsenal in 2015.

Industry veterans were surprised to learn in February that producer, financier and foreign-sales kingpin Avi Lerner had agreed to sell half of his Millennium Films to China's Recon Group (which also owns the Aston Villa soccer club) in a deal reportedly valued at more than $100 million.

Chinese company Recon Group is close to acquiring Millennium Films, the production company behind “The Expendables,” according to a Bloomberg report. Recon’s chairman Tony Xia has proven that he’s willing to spend money to crack western markets. While certainly not as far west as Hollywood, he recently dropped $109 million to buy soccer club Aston Villa. The team was previously part of Cleveland Browns owner Randy Lerner’s portfolio. Millennium Films did not immediately respond to TheWrap‘s request for comment on the apparent talks. Bloomberg cited two sources who wished to remain anonymous, due to the private nature of the negotiations.
