Fans were heard booing the national anthem at FA Cup final between Liverpool and Chelsea in Wembley. They also were believed to make jeers while Abide With Me was sung and when Prince William walked out to greet players.
READ LIVE:Prince George beamed today as he shook hands with some of the biggest names in football, while presenting the FA Cup to winners Manchester United , who celebrated a 2-1 win over Manchester City this afternoon.
The young royal even got to say a couple of words to legendary manager Pep Guardiola, who was unable to pull off a second consecutive FA Cup win just days after taking City to an unprecedented fourth straight league title. It was then a jubilant Manchester United's turn to collect their winners medals from William, who is the Football Association's president, and George was on hand to congratulate the victors as they walked past.
The players then proudly held up the trophy in front of the royals and cheered along with the roaring crowd as they took turns raising it into the air. Prince George shared a sweet moment with his father as he smoothed back his styled hair and the heir to the throne whispered in his ear While Manchester City attacking midfielder gripped his hand and exchanged a few words he grinned hear to ear - with Erling Haaland smirking happily in the background as he saw his friend's excitement.
The 41-year-old's attendance at the showpiece game in North West London in front of 90,000 fans was confirmed by palace officials at 9.30am this morning.

The jeers started during a rendition of the Christian hymn Abide With Me by the 60-strong B Positive Choir, whose members have sickle cell disease or who have close friends or family suffering from it. He also criticised BBC football commentators for failing to even mention the Liverpool fans' 'repulsive behaviour'.
But last week William hailed Villa for qualifying to play Champions League football next season, praising their 'historic season' and 'amazing achievement'. On May 2, William was spotted cheering on Villa against Olympiakos in the Europa Conference League semi-final first leg. One picture showed him enthusiastically celebrating a Villa goal which was later disallowed for a foul in the build-up.
'I wanted to have a team that was more mid-table that could give me more emotional rollercoaster moments. Aston Villa's always had a great history.' He added: 'It was fantastic, I sat with all the fans with my red beanie on, and I was sat with all the Brummie fans and had a great time. In addition, the Prince often tweets about football and last month also posted a message congratulating the Lionesses' Rachel Daly on her retirement.
