King Charles is a fan of the NFL, according to a player who met the monarch today during his visit to the Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium.
Efe Obada, 32, a British NFL player who is part of the Washington Commanders, also revealed that the King is going to watch the games.
Obada said: "I loved his energy, the fact that he came in here willing to get stuck in."
"His technique was immense."
The Briton added: "I wanted him to get a hoop, in the target, but he was just having a good time.
"We talked about the NFL and he's a fan.
"He's going to watch the games."
The revelation comes days after the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59.
The King visited Tottenham Hotspur's stadium to celebrate the football club's positive socio-economic impact on the local community through its partnership with the NFL.
King Charles was also joined by Tottenham Hotspur's club captains, Son Heung-min and Bethany England, as the monarch received a warm welcome from fans within the stadium.
The King spoke to Son about the recent performance of the North London side.
Spurs are currently in 14th place in the Premier League and were knocked out of both the Carabao Cup and FA Cup last week by Liverpool and Prince William's favourite team, Aston Villa.

Son said: "Difficult moments, but working hard."
Charles replied that there were "a lot of good coaches" in the club's setup.
Ledley King, a former England and Tottenham star, said: "It's fantastic to have the King here. There is a lot of great work going on in the community and it's great to have him here at the stadium to see what goes on.
"It's much more than a football stadium, it reaches out to the wider community. We spoke about the difference between the NFL and football and how there are quite a few stoppages and now that I'm older it's a lot easier for me with many stoppages."
