During a visit to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium, King Charles, 76, delighted royal fans by showing off his American football passing skills.
Dressed in a sharp dark overcoat and suit, the King received throwing tips from British NFL players Efe Obada and Phoebe Schecter before taking aim at the target.
With one hand in his coat pocket, Charles threw the ball, earning an enthusiastic reception from dozens of schoolchildren in attendance. His playful attempt quickly drew a wave of praise from royal fans online.
One social media user commented, “He’s such a good sport! I’m sure without his hand in his pocket, that throw would’ve gone much farther.” Another said, “All in a day’s work. No drama—hand still in his pocket.” Others chimed in with comments like, “Love how he’s game to give it a try,” and “Having a ball by the looks of it, King Charles! So fun.”
Obada praised the King’s enthusiasm, saying, “I love the King’s energy and the fact he came here and got stuck in. His technique wasn’t perfect, but he was having a great time and got a warm reception.”
The King’s visit highlighted Tottenham Hotspur’s collaboration with the NFL, which stages games at the stadium, and the club’s support for local businesses and charitable causes. His appearance came just days after the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in New Orleans to claim the Super Bowl title.
