Video. Prince William joins kickabout at Edinburgh community centre

Updated:

Prince William laced up his boots in Edinburgh on Wednesday, joining a kickabout during a visit to Leith Community Centre with Street Soccer Scotland.

The Prince met with founder David Duke to hear how the charity supports people affected by homelessness and aims to revitalise the local community.

After watching the players, he joined in, missing his first shot but scoring the second. The players applauded as he smiled and joked, “That’s it, I’m done now.”

The visit comes as The Royal Foundation of The Prince and Princess of Wales launches a new partnership with Street Soccer Scotland, focused on improving mental health, wellbeing, and reducing social isolation through sport.
