The visit was part of the club’s collaboration with the NFL, supporting charitable projects that offer young people new opportunities through sport.
One of the highlights was a crash course in American football, where King Charles received hands-on training from two NFL professionals. He even picked up the football himself and attempted a throw—though not quite at a professional level.
NFL player Efe Obada (32), who demonstrated the throwing technique, was full of praise for the king: “I love the King's energy and the fact he came here and got stuck in. His technique was immense.” he told 'Express.'
King Charles receives a special Super Bowl souvenir
After his training session, the monarch watched a performance by young participants of the Huddle Project, a charitable initiative providing free sports activities for 11- to 18-year-olds.
To mark the occasion, King Charles was presented with a special gift—a football used at Super Bowl LVIII in New Orleans. With this unique souvenir in hand, he returned to Buckingham Palace, making his royal encounter with American football one to remember.
