Source: Royal Family
The King has learned how to throw an American football like a quarterback. Thankfully, there was no tush push.
The 76-year-old monarch visited Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in north London on Wednesday (local time) as part of a community event sponsored by the Premier League club and the NFL.
He got some throwing advice from Phoebe Schecter, captain of Britainās womenās flag football team, and then gave it a shot himself.
Efe Obada, a British-Nigerian defensive end who played for the Washington Commanders for the past three seasons, said the King āgot stuck inā and had good energy.
āHis technique wasnāt immaculate; I wanted him to get a little closer to the target so he could get it in but he was having a great time and got a good reception,ā Obada said.
At the venue, which is not only Tottenham Hotspurās home but now also Englandās leading NFL venue, the King also met Spurs soccer captain Son Heung-min.
