King Charles gets quarterback lesson at Tottenham Hotspurs ground
King Charles III 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 as part of a community event sponsored by the Premier League club and the NFL on Wednesday.
The king got some throwing advice from Phoebe Schecter, captain of Britain’s women’s flag football team, and then gave it a shot himself.

“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.
