King Charles has visited the home of Tottenham Hotspur to highlight the Premier League club’s work supporting local businesses.
The King met guests including Gina Moffatt, 48, an ex-offender who turned her life around with help from the King’s Trust – formerly the Prince’s Trust – and now runs a restaurant in Tottenham, north London.
Ms Moffatt informed the head of state he was “bigger than Beyoncé”, referring to the US superstar’s upcoming performances at the stadium.
King Charles also took the opportunity to have a go at throwing an American football – receiving mixed feedback.
The football club is collaborating with America’s National Football League (NFL) – which stages games at the arena – in supporting local businesses and good causes.
During the visit the King met students from the London Academy of Excellence Tottenham, a state-funded high achieving sixth form on the stadium campus.
On the pitch he was handed a ball by the longest-serving British NFL player Efe Obada, who praised the “energy” of the King’s throw but added that his “technique wasn’t 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,” he said.
