Future King Faces Tough Football Question During Aston Villa Visit
Prince William found himself in a tricky situation when asked to choose between David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane during a lighthearted football challenge at Aston Villa’s Bodymoor Heath training complex.
Taking part in a spin-off of the viral Football Legends - Head 2 Head game, the Prince of Wales was quizzed on various football greats, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, opting for the Argentine star. However, when asked to pick between Beckham and Zidane in a penalty shootout, he hesitated before choosing his longtime friend Beckham, joking, “This is gonna hurt. Becks, I think—just... I think Becks might kill me if I don’t say him.”
The moment, shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ Instagram story, comes as Beckham embraces his new role as an ambassador for the King’s Foundation. The former footballer, who has often expressed his admiration for the royal family, recently admitted that his mother was moved to tears upon hearing of his appointment.
