Prince William has shared the key parenting motto he follows when raising Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Prince William, who regularly attends public events and ceremonies, is used to receiving gifts and memorabilia.
But after attending an event highlighting the work of the NFL Foundation, Prince was able to bring NFL football home with him.
The NFL Foundation is dedicated to helping address the challenges facing young people in the poorest communities.
After displaying his amazing abilities, the prince was given a souvenir to take with the children, to which he replied, “That’s very kind of you,” adding, “Never go home empty-handed.”
Furthermore, he added: “That’s an important motto as parents. That’s very kind of you, thank you. They’ll love it.”
The prince then joked, “Let’s practice at home and see how many windows we can break.”
The Prince of Wales wowed the hosts with his pitching ability, with Sky Sports pundit and former Buffalo Bills coach Phoebe Scheckter saying, “His arm strength is unbelievable. How far he can hit the ball. I couldn’t believe he could throw it. He did a great job. He’s very coachable.”
Onlookers were visibly impressed when Prince managed to place the ball into one of several holes on the American football training equipment.
“He can throw the ball,” said Louis Rees-Zammit, a former Welsh rugby union star who now plays for NFL franchise Jacksonville Jaguars.
“He can throw the ball better than me. He can create a good spiral with the ball, unlike me!”
William admitted that he didn’t understand much about the tactics involved in the sport, but confessed that if he did, he might be a little more into it.
The Prince’s visit to Kennington Park was accompanied by NFL UK general manager Henry Hodgson, who said flag football was growing in popularity in the UK, with the number of schools taking part rapidly increasing and the sport becoming a competitive sport. It was explained that it will be held at 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
The NFL is growing in popularity in the UK, with three games being held or scheduled to be held in London this season, with sold out crowds.
