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 Britain’s women’s 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 “got stuck in” and had good energy.

“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,” Obada said.

At the venue, which is not only Tottenham Hotspur’s home but now also England’s leading NFL venue, the King also met Spurs soccer captain Son Heung-min.
