Sporty Prince William tries his hand at American Football in a smart suit and a pair of brand new £95 trainers
SPORTY Prince William tries his hand at American football — in a casual suit and new white trainers.
Dad-of-three Wills, 42, practised throwing, passing and catching drills in the pristine £95 Russell & Bromley sneakers.
The bearded royal looked a natural at the community event organised by the NFL Foundation, a charity helping youngsters in deprived areas.
His skills at NFL Flag — a non-contact version of the sport — impressed spectators and fellow players in Kennington, South London.
Former Welsh rugby player Louis Rees-Zammit, who recently switched to NFL, said: “He can throw the ball better than me.
“He can get a good spiral on the ball as well. I can’t!”
GB women’s flag football team captain Phoebe Schecter added: “His arm strength is incredible.
“I could not believe how far he could throw the ball. He did a great job.”
Wills was given three small balls to take home for Princes George, 11, and Louis, six, and nine-year-old Princess Charlotte — and a full-size one for himself.
He joked: “Never go home empty handed. Great motto!
“I’ll do some practice at home and see how many windows I can smash.”
The Princess of Wales posted a touching message online yesterday to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week.
Kate, 42, sent “love, strength and hope” to those who have faced the “devastation” of losing an infant, along with a picture of a candle.
