“What I need is a few mini rugby balls so that I can get Archie involved with the game. I need to get him playing some rugby league.”

Prince Harry was a big fan of rugby himself when he was growing up, spending part of his gap year in 2004 training as an Assistant Development Officer with the Rugby Football Union.

Then, in 2013, he became the patron of the Rugby Football Union All Schools Programme, which promotes rugby in schools by improving access to facilities and equipment for all children.

Prince Harry also revealed how inspired he was to see the sport “come together as a family” during the coronavirus pandemic.

He added, “Watching Rugby League is exhausting. Listen, I spent 10 years in the army, I know what endurance is all about. But [Rugby League] is madness.”
