Prince William, looking smart in a white shirt tucked into navy blue trousers, joined in with a group of young boys practising their football skills, despite later describing himself like a "a giraffe on ice" on the pitch.

Prince Harry attempted to play basketball but reportedly failed to get a single ball through the hoop.
